choice is an illusion created by those who have power and propergander there most usefull tool there is corruption at every level it`s become so blatent now just another story of the middle man /working class getting screwed

never thought the SABC was a private entity in the first place......but still tend to agree with the cronies bit....nevertheless government seems to have a habit of hiring the incorrect people for the job then the institutions have to pay a really large some of money to get rid of them.

As much as this annoys many people, as an actor I can say that this might be a step in the right direction to help employ people like me. Actors need work, so think about that...

So the SABC board is fired, then replaced with a bunch of the ANC's cronies who have no clue what to do then the same company has to be bailed out! No doubt those board members will be getting hefty bonuses this year for a job well done... Hold on doesn't this make the SABC a state entity now...?Wow that was subtle of them! And the propaganda machine marches forward!

And the taxpayer will have to fork it out again.

And another R1b of tax-payers money goes down the tubes - for what? This is just obscene - how many houses could the Government have built with this money, how many jobs could they have created? But we absolutely cannot do without the ruling parties mouthpiece, can we? AWA- Africa Wins Again. Viva Julius, Viva Robert Mugabe!!! And yes, I probably am a racist for speaking my mind

The only reason government if using our tax money to bail out the SABC is because they need the SABC for their propaganda machine when elections come around. The SABC is headed up by ANC appointed people and will tow the line otherwise the ANC fires them. It would not be good business for the ANC not to use our hard earned money to bail out one of their ASSETS. It is really frustrating to see but then we are so used to our money being mismanaged on a daily basis. There is no concern for the citizens in this country, just ways of ensuring the ANC protects their positions.

This is an absolute nightmare, why should MY tax money go to incompetent SABC Management as a bail-out!!! The government STEALS MY money every months to pay for their over-spending and helping their buddies out who should actually be prosecuted!! FURIOUS TAX payer
