“The SABC can confirm that it was unable to reach a sublicense agreement with SuperSport for the television broadcast of the 2019 Rugby World Cup. The SABC was negotiating the radio rights with another third party which was IMG and unfortunately an agreement there could also not be reached. The public broadcaster endeavours to broadcast sports of national interest as well as national teams of the respected sporting codes in fulfilling its public mandate.

SABC must end this madness of TV licence because we are paying for nothing 😏
