Newsletter| ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule has hinted it is time the party took control of the SABC. “Our friends throughout the world ask us: Why do you call yourself the governing alliance when you are not in charge of the public broadcaster?”
“It is amazing because our friends throughout the world are asking us a question: How are you governing? Why do you call yourself the governing alliance when you are not in charge of the public broadcaster?” Magashule said to raucous applause.
He accused the SABC of analysing Venezuela from what it downloaded from Reuters news agency and other wires in the “major imperialist” countries. “But, you owe us. You have that freedom because of the sacrifice of the Cuban people. So be fair to the Cuban revolution.” One source told City Press: “This is the first time in a long time that there’s an independent SABC during a democratic election in South Africa and the ANC possibly feels hurt that they are not in charge.”
