The SABC as a public broadcaster needs to communicate more, says minister of communications, Yunus Carrim.


South Africa's new minister of communications, Yunus Carrim, says the SABC should be communicating much more to viewers about what the broadcaster is doing.

On the SABC's new SABC News (DStv 404) 24-hour TV news channel Yunus Carrim said on Thursday evening that "the SABC is very, very challenged, but it is not as challenged as what is made out in the public domain."

"One of the tasks the SABC has is to communicate more about precisely what it's been able to achieve. I think if the SABC did so, the public out there would feel more confident," said Yunus Carrim.
