The public broadcaster spends more than R3bn a year on the salaries of more than 3,000 permanent employees
The SABC office in Auckland Park, Johannesburg. Picture: SUNDAY TIMESThe SABC said the notice follows the launch of its new operating model — a strategic renewal initiative aimed at transforming the state-owned company into a “financially sustainable, self-sufficient and fit-for-purpose public broadcaster”.
It is saddled with crippling debt of close to R2bn, a huge infrastructure maintenance backlog, and a huge and unsustainable wage bill. It spends more than R3bn a year on the salaries of more than 3,000 permanent employees. The planned retrenchment of 981 permanent staff and 1,200 freelancers at the time was set to take place as the SABC looked to turn around its poor financial state. She intervened, telling staffers at the broadcaster nobody would lose their jobs.
