BREAKING. Save our SABC (SOS) changes its name.


You're reading it here first.

The Save our SABC (SOS), an independent interest group, has changed their name to Supporting Public Broadcasting. The public interest group that last year worked very hard to put and keep the spotlight on the myriad of issues and problems that besieged the SABC, will still be known under the moniker of SOS.

The SOS says they ''welcomes Solly's appointment''. (Solly Mokoetle who just started as the new CEO of the SABC).

The SOS also advises Solly Mokoetle and the new SABC board not to get ''unnecessarily diverted''. ''There are enormous issues to deal with including the entire turn-around of the SABC''.
