Sexual harassment cases at the SABC swept under the carpet - commission
6 November 2018
The SABC does not take sexual harassment seriously and needs to develop a culture that embraces the enhancement of human rights and gender rights.
These are just some of the recommendations made by an independent commission of inquiry looking into allegations of sexual harassment at the public broadcaster.
The commission found that the SABC was complicit in some cases, accusing the broadcaster of being oblivious to infringements of its sexual harassment policies.
The commission chaired by Barbara Watson revealed that that the public broadcaster's sexual harassment policies did not meet international standards, and needed to be reviewed.
