Johannesburg - The last AM Live radio show to be hosted by John Perlman will be on Friday, the SABC said.
"Friday is the last day," said SABC spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago.
The popular veteran broadcaster resigned in January after nine years of presenting the morning current-affairs programme.
An announcement on Perlman's replacement was expected before the weekend, Kganyago said.
Media reports alleged that Perlman's resignation was linked to the controversy over the blacklisting of certain commentators from being interviewed on the SABC.
The Freedom of Expression Institute recently laid a complaint about the SABC, related to blacklisting of commentators, with the Independent Communications Authority of SA (Icasa).
