Communications minister slams SABC for wanting to delay analogue TV switch-off

Communications Minister Khumbudzo Ntshavheni has hit out at public broadcaster the SABC for wanting to delay SA's analogue switch-off deadline, saying further postponements would change nothing.

"It is a pity that the SABC has completely disregarded the benefits it will enjoy on digital television, and the pace of accessing these benefits is solely dependent on the decisions of the SABC," she said in a letter to the SABC board on Thursday.
