Call for report on SABC graft probe progress

NEWSWATCH: The DA wants the Special Investigations Unit to report on its probe into the SABC, reports The Citizen; the ANC's Gwede Mantashe has slammed the on-going board war at the broadcaster, reports IOL, and on the digital front, there is yet more on the migration from analogue to digital and the set-top box issue, reports Mail & Guardian.

Call for report on SABC graft probe progress

For more:

The Citizen: Call for SIU report on SABC graft... Graft... board battles... acting COO without even a matric... The on-going saga at the SABC is the stuff soapies are made of. The difference is, we can turn off the tripe; in this case all we can do is watch it unfold, shake our heads woefully... and continue to be forced to pay licence fees to a service that, thanks to poor management and an even poorer range of programmes, many of us long-suffering licence-payers seldom if ever watch anyway.
IOL: Mantashe slams SABC wars, Eskom CEO drama... ANC secretary-general Gwede Mantashe is reported as saying that the former acting chief operating officer Hlaudi Motsoeneng has no claim to the position. However, she with the red shoes, Communications Minister Dina Pule, apparently wants him reinstated, even if he lacks even a matric.
If the board of any listed company acted the way the SABC board has done over the past days, weeks, months and years, the members would have been booted into touch a long time ago.
Mail & Guardian: TV's digital migration boxed down... Critics reckon that the free-to-air providers' insistence on access control will push prices up, though if the delays, disputes and assorted other issues continue as they have, it's anyone guess as to when the switchover will actually take place and viewers will actually have to shell out their hard-earned cash.
