Right2Know Campaign accuses SABC of political bias
Updated | By Nushera Soodyal
The Right to Know Campaign has accused SABC COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng of doing the leading party's bidding.
A group of about 15 people are gathered outside the public broadcaster's studios on K E Masinga Road today protesting against what the organisation calls its self censorship.
Last month Motsoeneng put a ban on protest coverage.
KZN coordinator Thabane Miya says he believes Motsoeneng is affiliated with the ANC. Miya says today's SABC is reminiscent of the SABC when it was the mouthpiece of the apartheid government.
"Hlaudi is affiliated with the ANC. Even though I cannot prove that in black and white but it does not take a rocket scientist to see. The decisions are taken just before elections. Where ever he goes he is surrounded by ANC bosses.
" There's a new song by some people affiliated with the ANC - the so-called People's Poet songs and songs about Hlaudi. The way he does things, he is affiliated with the ANC," he said.
