The more things change the more they stay the same. Just as the hateful apartheid government controlled the SABC, so the ANC are doing the same. Hopefully that will be only similarity, or will it? - Dean Swift |

Totally Agree
13/09/2007 14:56
I totally agree 100%. The SABC, just like parliament, gets its order from the ANC.
It is very clear that a Mugabe style regime is being born.
Good luck South Africa...

Attacking the minister on her performance would have been the right route to take but thieving in the name of journalism and have those actions condoned by SANEF was wrong. It is rather ironic that in our parliament we have murderers who used the guise of SADF to kill. Mr. Thobela do not be swayed by popular thinking and actions. - Toto |

Its a world wide issue
13/09/2007 15:02
Not much room to explain but Broadcast Coorporations world wide have always been the Mouth pieces of their govts.chec the BBC, CNN, ABC, all broadcast and are run with some sort of bias to the ruling party.What makes the SABC any different?If the ANC is voted out and NNP takes over it'll be just the same ol story. - 49cent |

anc = sabc
13/09/2007 15:02
i think its time SABC say enough is enough to ANC or else give them an office at the sabc am sure they will love that,if you can compare there news with other private channels or station they don't give us full details,look at the rugby team selection anc got involved as usual, manto was seen as saying etv i don't want to talk to you, if it was sabc i can, why ? cause sabc will broadcast her story but still protect her image,she obviously feel at home with sabc. - tanyie |

SABC....
13/09/2007 15:04
If SABC had agreed with what Sunday Times did the so called champions of free speech would've been pleased. The media's independence doesn't translate to "?ays right" and immunity to criticism. So I believe SABC must be allowed to take it's stance on issues as well like the Sunday Times. - Mlu |

Themba the most worrysome thing of this situation is that ,to my believe,our freedom of speech and the right of information which is part of our constitution ,forms a very important part of our young democracy's survival,were being ignored to protect those who is suppossed to help keep this democracy alive. - bertus |

same style sabc-new masters
13/09/2007 15:27
There is nothing new about this whole thing. The SABC was the mouthpiece of the NP in the bad old days, and now in the new bad days..it's the turn of the ANC to be their masters.. - Frank |

SABC and ANC-BC
13/09/2007 15:28
That's why I have stopped watching SABC news sometime ago because I know it will be about Minister this; president that and ANC this; until Sport News. Mpofu; is paying for his deed (he was bailed out by the president on soccer rights saga) until he tried his worn out legal skills by going for arbitration. - Gwinya |

The SABC is falling apart

All this fuss, but generally the SA media have always been govt lackeys. They should take lessons from the UK media & has anyone watched Prime Minister's Questions on the BBC? Now THAT'S democracy: where even the head honcho gets a regular dressing down. SA politicians should be held to account like that. Aren't you sick of them treating citizens like naughty school kids or heinous traitors? We need more persistent investigative expos? Thank you to brave journalists who do their best. - Saffa |

SABC
13/09/2007 15:42
Too bad we have people like you who have closed their eyes as to what is going on pity some people never realise that we were born african and we think african not as the commercial media does that is why for now we have forgiven and let whites enjoy the country push black africans too far there will be trouble. Dali Mpofu is simply being modest and good to all. - Sicelo |

Believe it or not, most white citizens were helpless to stop the Apartheid govt, much as we wanted to. It was only after long-term pressure from the international community that the NP govt caved in. A referendum in the mid-80's proved that most white citizens wanted democracy, but the NP govt said 'No'. Save your resentment for racist politicians of yesteryear & the current govt who watch SA bleed & deny, deny, deny. - Saffa |

SABC and the Government
13/09/2007 16:06
My wife and i worked for the SABC for many years, and as a rooinek I was shocked at the amnount of Nationalist Party interference. It was a standing joke, at least in the Durban office, that Government microphones were always listening in, in the offices, in case anyone said anything politically incorrect. - Doug'O'Durban |

13/09/2007 16:13
I would just like to point out to Sicelo that I am also an african, I was born in the same land as you and I am WHITE. If you are willing to be a "sheep" for the sake of your government the only trouble I foresee is a nation full of zombies, carry on with your simple-minded way of thinking and soon SA will be like the rest of Africa, that is the people suffering while your precious government get rich and laugh at how dumb their "livestock" is.

Viva SABC
13/09/2007 16:20
I find the SABC news much more comprehensive, developmental and full of optimism. I don't care if it is ANC or government mouth piece. If there is no tragedy to report, there will be no news on e.tv just like the New York Times, CNN, BBC...and the rest of the pathetic western media!! - Wiri |
