Is a 1% SABC tax fair?

Will TV licences become a thing of the past? There are murmurings of a 1% increase in our taxes to make up the shortfall in the SABC's revenues but our taxes are already high, and there is no guarantee that every taxpayer owns a TV or radio - don't forget the licence covers radio as well. The public has until 7 December 2009 to submit written comments on the draft Public Service Broadcasting Bill [which is supposed to be available from www.doc.gov.za, not that we could find it yet, but thank you to the little bird who told us to try the Parliamentary Monitoring Group]. What do you think?
