SOS Coalition 'not surprised’ by SABC findings into editorial interference via SABCNewsOnline

says they’re not surprised by the findings of the Commission of Inquiry into Editorial Interference at theReleasing the report earlier on Monday, the Commission’s Chair, Joe Thloloe said the public broadcaster suffered from an impulsive and unpredictable use of authority and victimisation of staff.

The Commission also found that the newsroom took instructions from African National Congress’s leaders, particularly the former Communications Minister Faith Muthambi and former board members such as Ellen Tshabalala. Thloloe was tasked to look into alleged political and editorial interference at the public broadcaster as well as personal favours in the workplace.

However, Makuse says they welcome the report, “I think we welcome the report. There is clearly nothing in there that is too much of a surprise because we were anticipating that the gory details of what we were suspecting were abuses of power and political interference should be made bare. So, I think on that side it’s a good report, especially also in terms of its findings and its recommendations.

Africa's news leader.Information about donors to the CR17 campaign, which is contained in leaked emails, points to a need in a democracy for the opening up of party funding. But there’s a difference between party funding and presidential campaign funding...... The problem will persist if there’s more than one presidential candidate....... Except the ANC, other parties are not that affected......🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 The country should use tax payers money responsibly and productively. It is common sense that when there are no resources now, including food, shelter and employment would be unwise to preoccupationally direct tax payers money to past campaigning review programs. Pancho Hajane The ANC must come up with policies suitable for themselves, not the country it's party politics, ***k the country on this one.
