We need a full parliamentary briefing on the SABC’s unabating censorship
7 June 2016
Censorship at the SABC ahead of the Local Government Election has reached crisis proportions.
Yesterday night, the Spokesperson of the SABC, Kaizer Kganyago confirmed that “the Editors” has indeed been canned.
The DA will be calling on the Portfolio Committee on Communications to return to Parliament in order to be fully briefed by the SABC’s management on the rampant censorship at the public broadcaster ahead of this year's election. This is provided for in National Assembly (NA) Rule 223.
“The Editors” is a very popular programme on SAFM on Sundaymornings where the political events of the week are critically analysed, debated and discussed by newspaper journalists and editors.
