Hlaudi now bans the reading of newspaper headlines on SABC radio stations
8 June 2016
The DA has been reliably informed that SABC COO, Hlaudi Motsoeneng has now banned the reading of newspaper headlines on all SABC radio stations.
The reading of the morning’s newspaper headlines is a practice on radio and TV stations worldwide, particularly on news and talk radio, as a method to review stories currently in the news cycle.
The banning of the reading of newspapers can only be viewed as yet another attempt by Motsoeneng to censor any negative news stories about the ANC on SABC radio stations ahead of the local government election.
This is part of an on-going programme driven by Motsoeneng to only portray “sunshine news” about the ANC on SABC stations.
