ANC and DA clash over controversial SABC Bill withdrawal

^{Published on 2024-12-30 11:40:39 - MSN}

A heated dispute has erupted between the ANC-led Government of National Unity and the DA over the withdrawal of the contentious SABC Bill by Communications Minister Solly Malatsi.

The article from MSN discusses the ongoing political tension between South Africa's African National Congress (ANC) and the Democratic Alliance (DA) regarding the controversial South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) Bill. The DA has called for the withdrawal of the SABC Bill, arguing that it would lead to increased government control over the public broadcaster, potentially compromising its independence. The ANC, however, has resisted these calls, defending the bill as necessary for the financial sustainability and governance of the SABC. The DA's concerns center around clauses that would allow the Minister of Communications to have significant influence over the SABC's operations, including its funding and board appointments. This clash highlights broader issues of media freedom and state influence in South Africa, with the DA accusing the ANC of attempting to turn the SABC into a state-controlled entity, while the ANC insists the bill aims to modernize and stabilize the broadcaster.
