BREAKING. TVIEC to call for an 'open day' within weeks for anyone owed money by the SABC.



You're reading it here first.

I can exclusively reveal first that the Television Industry Emergency Coalition (TVIEC) is planning to organize an ''open day'' for anyone (still) owed money by the SABC to come forward so that a master list can be compiled to get the debt of the public broadcaster to South African TV producers settled.

''We will call for an open day soon to get people throughout the production industry to come forward with any debts outstanding, to once and for all get a figure together on what the SABC is owing the industry,'' Desiree Markgraaff of the TVIEC just told me.

''Within weeks we will put out the call to have an open day for anyone owed money to register what they're owed by the public broadcaster and lodge what the debt is. That will probably happen in the next two or three weeks,'' she says.
