ICASA ’s Complaints and Compliance Committee has recommended that the SABC should be fined half a million rand for refusing to play a Democratic Alliance advertisement.
Nyiko Shibambo, SABC complaints specialist, then wrote to ICASA to tell it that the SABC would not publish the advert. “The SABC has also noted the condemnation of the advertisement by the president of the Republic and other government departments.” “The SABC, though not obliged to broadcast political advertisements, made a choice to broadcast such advertisements. Once it had made that choice, it became obliged to afford all other political parties, including the DA, which submitted its political advertisement to it, a like opportunity,” said Masipa.
