BREAKING. SABC board appearance before parliament no longer broadcast live; will be shown this evening.


You're reading it here first.

Where is the broadcast of the SABC board appearing before parliament's portfolio committee on communications right at this very moment? The Parliamentary Service (DStv 408) said the channel would broadcast today's proceedings live.

I can tell you that there's no conspiracy theory at work here. The Parliamentary Service just called me to say that the channel that covers proceedings within parliament had to go live with the national council of provinces meeting now also happening right at this moment.

Parliamentary Service assured me the SABC board appearance is being recorded after the meeting was now booked for a camera-enabled venue where it's currently taking place. The Parliamentary Service doesn't have a specific time yet for the broadcast of the SABC board appearance but tells me it will happen today still, and is looking at possibly starting the recorded broadcast at 18:00 today, Tuesday 23.
