MWASA statement on recent developments at the SABC
Media Workers Association of South Africa press statement 26 October 2017
The SABC remains of critical importance in the lives of millions of South Africans, the majority of whom, in their dehumanizing poverty and abject squalor, rely solely on the SABC for their information, education and entertainment needs.
In the current socio-political and economic environment, an effective public broadcaster is not a 'nice-to-have' but a necessity at least as in comparison with the South African Airways. It fulfills a far more seminal public mandate and should be supported.
