“The TV licence arrangement is not working, it is actually impacting on the SABC’s ability to survive,” said communications minister Khumbudzo Ntshavheni.

Earlier this year, SABC board chairperson Bongumusa Makhathini said the TV license regime must be replaced with a public media levy for the broadcaster to become financially viable.

“We want the SABC to also, at the public broadcaster level, play a developmental role. The education channel must be used optimally, the health channel must be reintroduced and the history channel must come through because we should not be watching other people's history but our own history and also the history of this continent.
