BREAKING. SABC1 dumping the Siswati/Ndebele TV news bulletin from June 11 for the 2010 FIFA World Cup soccer tournament.


You're reading it here first.

The smallest always goes first. I can reveal first that SABC1 plans to dump the broadcaster's daily Siswati/Ndebele news bulletin for the duration of the 2010 FIFA World Cup soccer tournament.

The TV news bulletin in Siswati and Ndebele, the only one on South African television, will disappear from June 11 and be off the SABC1 schedule line-up until July 10.

I've already told you RIGHT HERE that SABC1 plans to move the popular soaps The Bold & the Beautiful and Generations to new timeslots for the duration of the 2010 FIFA World Cup and RIGHT HERE that SABC1 is planning a major schedule overhaul littered with soccer programming from the middle of June.
