The SABC will be live streaming the Marikana Commission hearing in Rustenburg on the SABC News website at www.sabc.co.za/news as well as on the SABC's YouTube channel. The broadcaster will also carry stories about today's hearing on television, radio and the SABC News website.
"As public broadcaster, we believe it is in the interest of various audiences to have access to these hearings," says Jimi Matthews, the SABC's acting head of news and current affairs. "As a broadcaster that aims to shape the way news is consumed in South Africa, we believe that online streaming offers a convenient alternative for those who have access to the internet on computers and mobile devices."
"The uptake of mobile media usage and advances in technology make it possible for viewers to access streaming content wherever they are, making the online platform an ideal medium for coverage of such an important event," says Jimi Matthews.
"The SABC has been covering the events at Marikana and subsequent developments comprehensively and is committed to continue to offer the South African public only the best in news and current affairs."
