SABC inquiry nothing but a 'soap opera' - eThekwini ANCYL
16 December 2016
Durban – The ANC Youth League (ANCYL) in eThekwini has reaffirmed its support for the SABC's Hlaudi Motsoeneng and described the parliamentary inquiry into the fitness of the board of the public broadcaster to hold office as a "soap opera".
The ANCYL held a press briefing on Friday to discuss recent political developments.
Regional secretary Thinta Cibane said the inquiry was part of a battle for control over the public broadcaster.
"It is the considered view of the youth league that this is not about the competence of the SABC board or the fitness of comrade Hlaudi to hold office, but it is rather the battle to control the narrative [as advanced by the SABC]."
