19 July 2016
Cape Town - Around 200 people protested outside Parliament on Tuesday to deliver a list of demands to ANC Chief Whip Jackson Mthembhu over the recent happenings at the SABC.
DA communications spokesperson Phumzile van Damme lead the picket in the wet Cape Town weather, saying Parliament needed to intervene in order to resolve the crisis engulfing the public broadcaster.
Four senior journalists were fired by the SABC on Monday, while another two journalists have since been fired on Tuesday.
"We are here today to picket in support of the four of the SABC 8 fired by Hlaudi Motsoeneng - Jacques Steenkamp, Krivani Pillay, Foeta Krige and Suna Venter," Van Damme told the crowd.
