The broadcaster said a statement from the ANC caucus in the provincial legislature that it would move to Johannesburg and Pretoria wasn’t true.
“There is no truth to this statement. However, the SABC can confirm that it is standard practice with some of its radio stations to broadcast some programmes from Johannesburg,” SABC spokesperson Vuyo Mthembu said. “In addition, the production of the majority of the programmes on Motsweding FM and administration of the station is done in Mahikeng. Motsweding FM has adopted a strategy which seeks to grow its listenership in the Gauteng, Free State, Northern Cape and Limpopo provinces,” Mthembu said.
“This planned relocation of regional offices in Mahikeng is quite disturbing as this will result in a job bloodbath in Motsweding studios, consequently robbing locals of income and interaction with their home studios,” said chief whip Raymond Elisha in a statement.
