Cape Town - The scope of the inquiry into alleged blacklisting at the SABC should be widened to include the broadcaster's coverage of the Democratic Alliance, the party said on Wednesday.

"I have today written to the chair of the commission of inquiry into SABC 'blacklisting', (former SABC CEO) Dr Zwelakhe Sisulu, requesting him to widen the scope of the investigation to include the SABC's coverage of the DA," MP Donald Lee said.

There were many instances where the DA had been excluded from SABC programmes because of political meddling, he said.

The DA knew from experience "that political interference takes place at the SABC because of instances where our spokespeople have been pulled from participating in programmes at the last minute".

The DA was also well aware certain SABC board members were "vehemently anti-DA", Lee said.
