“You, the media, have one of the most powerful instruments in helping our societies to value the truth” - #Tutu

Yep Been predicting it for ages. Government needs to pay up and account. Add to it the loss of audience due to ASO without audience having access and have disaster. @MediaMattersZA @SOSCoalition
Pains me to read @AndiMakinana story in @SundayTimesZA. I predicted this in my affidavit to @ConCourtSA in Feb & on pod with late @Eusebius in March. Blame rests totally on @ParliamentofRSA & @PresidencyZA for purposefully failing to appoint #SABC Board for 6 months. Disgrace.
