SABC Spend R20 million On Luxury Vehicles For “News Team”

The SABC has long ago stopped being anything but a joke, due to mismanagement, scaly news editors, and failure to provide anything decent for us to watch. The latest scandal involving the nation’s broadcaster involves its spending R20 million on luxury vehicles for its "news team" in September.

The SABC has long ago stopped being anything but a joke, due to mismanagement, scaly news editors, and failure to provide anything decent for us to watch. The latest scandal involving the nation’s broadcaster involves its spending R20 million on luxury vehicles for its “news team” in September.

This happened despite a moratorium being in place while a new tender process was underway. Spokesman, Kaizer Kganyago said that the matter is currently being investigated. “We are acting on the matter, we are speaking to people.”

Apparently, the news team was desperate for vehicles and the shortage of cars was “becoming crippling”. Crucial stories were being missed, and for six months camera people could not leave the office.
