So the SABC that introduced an austerity plan, has a new turnaround strategy and plans to cut the fat away by getting rid of corruption, middle managers, and ''wasteful expenditure''. It's also cutting the fat away on another level: the bulges around the belly.
Turns out the SABC has a programme to get rid of the fat, and I'm not talking about SABC1's current cringe-crass Dance Your Butt Off reality show. According to the South African public broadcaster's annual report for 2010 the broadcaster actually has a weight loss programme to help cut the fat away. It was started in October 2009 and reintroduced in February this year.
According to the SABC the programme helps SABC employees with weight loss, overweight issues and obesity. So far 64 SABC employees have participated.
