Signage and logos of channels are seen at one of the state-owned companies, the South African Broadcasting Corporation , amid a nationwide coronavirus disease lockdown in Auckland Park, in Johannesburg, South Africa, September 1, 2020.Director of Media Monitoring Africa, William Bird, has strongly criticised the SABC Bill saying it gives the Communications Minister new and increased powers, among other things.Bird describes the SABC Bill as “an abomination”.
“Recently the Minister Mondli Gungubele reported that R 44 billion has actually been lost in TV licences because people do not want to pay. So now we need a new model that enforces and gets people to actually pay for this public service, just as they are paying for other public services they receive, such as water and electricity.”
