SABC should air “Miners Shot Down” not ANC study group
26 November 2015
The statement by SABC spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago that it will continue to negotiate the airing of “Miners Shot Down” “if there are available documentary slots...” is a veiled refusal to air this seminal work of great public importance.
The decision not to broadcast “Miners Shot Down” immediately follows the SABC’s decision to provide live broadcast to ANC study group this weekend – at no cost and in contravention of their editorial policy
Instead of airing the ANC's Study Group, the DA challenges the SABC to use this slot to air "Miners Shot Down", which unlike the study group, is a matter of national importance as defined in the SABC's Editorial Policy.
The ANC too, should give up this slot for the "Miners Shot Down" to be aired.
