The SABC denied that its Mahikeng offices were closing, saying it noted with concern a statement from the ANC caucus saying the offices would move to Johannesburg and Pretoria.
Rustenburg - The South African Broadcasting Corporation denied on Wednesday that its Mahikeng, North West, offices were closing, saying it noted with concern a statement from the ANC caucus in the provincial legislature saying the offices would move to Johannesburg and Pretoria.
"In the instance of Motsweding FM, some programmes are broadcast from Pretoria, Auckland Park and Kimberly in the Northern Cape province, as the station has a national footprint and some of its on-air personalities reside in those areas. The ANC caucus said it has noted with shock and disappointment news that SABC radio station Motsweding FM would relocated to Auckland in Johannesburg, and that Hatfield studios in Pretoria has taken some of Mahikeng studio activities.
'Any retrenchments at this juncture will not only add to the growing reserve army of the unemployed but will furthermore plunge a significant section of our people further into untold hardship and misery."
