Hlaudi Motsoeneng on SABC not televising Chiefs in Champions League final: ‘They must be removed’ BraMahlatse
The SABC announced on Friday morning that it was surprised and disappointed that the rights for the match had been exclusively sold to pay-channel SuperSport despite the public broadcaster having agreed to the asking price.
“They don’t know how to negotiate and they don’t have the expertise. You can’t be led by people who are complaining about other broadcasters. In response to Motsoeneng’s stinging criticism‚ Gary Rathbone‚ the General Manager for Sport at SABC‚ said he had worked in the sports television field for over 20 years‚ and knew its intricacies.
“When I arrived at the SABC around 2011‚ sport generally was a blackout. You can remember that the PSL went to MultiChoice [SuperSport]‚ SABC were not able to broadcast Bafana Bafana matches and the same goes to all the sporting codes. “When I checked their [the SABC’s] statement [on the rights for the Champipons League final]‚ they are complaining about MultiChoice getting the exclusive rights‚ but I have never seen any leader complaining about other people.
