The public broadcaster believes President Cyril Ramaphosa was sabotaged during a recorded address to the nation last week.

On Thursday, the president recorded a statement that was aired on all local 24-hour television channels.

“However, unauthorised changes were effected without any communication to the desk. Consequently, the programme published and played the rehearsal clip from President Ramaphosa’s recorded address to the nation, instead of the final version.”understands that Ramaphosa recorded the address at the SABC’s parliamentary studios, with the entire feed being sent to the SABC’s Auckland Park headquarters.

The SABC confirmed on Tuesday that three employees had been suspended pending a disciplinary hearing. A freelancer had also not been scheduled to work, pending a disciplinary hearing.
