Director of Media Monitoring Africa William Bird has accused Communications and Digital Technologies Minister, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni of interfering with the SABC’s operations by trying to force the public broadcaster to comply with what she says. Ntshavheni has threatened to withhold the release of the next financial assistance for the SABC’s turnaround strategy.
Bird says they are consulting their lawyers in light of the Minister’s threats against the SABC for asserting its independence.
