The SABC says in a statement that Supersport expected the SABC to pay R280 million for 144 PSL matches over a period of five years.
Acting SABC COO, Craig Van Rooyen says the public broadcaster would like to apologise to all South Africans for not securing a PSL broadcast sub-licence from Supersport – but the broadcaster has to make decisions that are financially viable.This means that the soccer games will not be carried live by the public broadcaster.
The SABC says in a statement that Supersport expected the SABC to pay R280 million for 144 matches over a period of five years but the public broadcaster would only have earned around R10 million from the broadcasts. The SABC says it has incurred a loss of R1.3 billion in the last five years relating to the broadcast of PSL matches.
The public broadcaster says it is committed to entering into contracts that are financially sound and sustainable for the SABC.

This is very annoying SABC does not money yet they pay Multichoice for their channels. Why can't we have Channel 404 ,and who watches channel 156 ?
Paying TV licence its more like giving offering in the church.
SABC is failing us, We cannot trust this Company We cannot trust this SABC
Mxm. We're paying TV licences to be served with apologies.
Useless .sibukiswa I ama advert otshwala
I miss Hlaudi.
So is the matter resolved?
I don't think I'll pay TV licence from next month
Actually there is no SABC any more is only the name that is left and the whole lot of problems is only a matter of time it will be shut down.
You eat our tax money and you come with apologies. To hell with you guys.
Is Tomas and the crew still employed?
SABC is reporting that SABC did not braodcast live psl games...is that news mara🤦🏽♂️
To apologize does not mean are obligated to to forgive the sabc. Poor people rely on SABC to deliver since its the the people's broadcast chanel that millions people love an respect that can not afford to have Dstv in our home. sabc pleae sort your self out.
Whats the use of apologizing?
Shut it down, bring Soccerzone4sho to it's old time slot not 22:00 where most of us are asleep, stop repeating old washed stories, People love sports create more slots for it instead of showing us repeats of useless shows , we need Soccerzone4sho back at 21:00 every Mondays.
You keep on apologizing.... Come with solutions
Maybe i should just send apologies to for not paying my license? Who knows maybe they will write off mu debt as gesture of accepting my apology
Sabc is for news and repeats only
Useless
Very disappointing to see everything going down in breathtaking pace in South Africa. One of this days they'll be telling us they're cutting the number of channels we have to save money. It's so sad... we're in hell on earth
It is understandable, our national broadcaster is in financial challenges. Yes, it shall rise from the ashes. Thank you.
Ndabeni pls don't start a war with us,we need to watch games
Mayivalwe
They’ll apologize for how long ?
😂😂😂🤭🤭🤭
Eish SABC is no longer the same. Sport will lose support. Not everyone has money to pay DSTV
Who really misses SABC soccer broadcasting matches with its boring commentators? Your last good commentator Brian Mofokeng saw it fit to leave this useless SABC
Then should we continue paying tv licences!
OK I forgive them,so when we will see live PSL broadcast matches on SABC...?Because even we can watch them on SuperSport,the fact remains...Laduma on SABC 1 still rocks.
We forgive u. The vulture has penetrated our sports n we understand
Sometimes apology means nothing!
Firstly it was cricket world cup... Now it's absa surrend SABC... Its shows to be a failure
Ai fuseg ayivalwe leSABC once abantu barhola mahala mos
Then We'll also apologise for no longer paying TV licenses.
Useless SABC nothing new u televised besides news
Nywe nywe nyweee mxm 😏
How will apology assist us
Anc is useless, it has collapsed everything.
Apologies accepted...the real state capture is taking over!
Who cares... Those people are losers
SABC is a loser
Useless as ever this sabc
No apologies accepted, that's nonsense, you don't have respect for Africans, you know very well that we really rely on you to watch soccer.
Multichoice is reminding us that they control the monopoly and Koos Bekker is letting us know. Fucking Whit monopoly capital, now we can't even wat h PSL.
Let's get rid of DSTV,then PSL will bring back remote
What is Sabc without soccer you might as well just shut down,we pay TV licences & tax money bails you out time & again, ppl from rural areas relying on you for this, what's the use of paying you
SABC Abo Mabena what is the way forward? Do they have money to televised future games. I suggest they must just increase annual License fee probably to R400 per year
you guys are always letting south africa sown
nealcol Mxm hambani niyofa
Failed state, just don't try to justify anything we understand and accepted. Your pronunciation in simple terms mean no PSL for the poor & the unemployed.
U sabc ,u incompetent n useless u deserve nothing, I thought Van Rooyen was going to do better, but nothing u have done for us,bring back Hlaudi Motswaneng
SABC you are useless!! A disgrace to the country, failing people yet always looking for bailout from our tax monies!
Apology accepted. Problem started when the rights were exclusively given to multi choice.
We don't care cz le ya palelwa moss
Only apologize now. U shud have informed public before league started.
Wait for the day of the psl to issue this absolutely amazing
What's the use of paying TV license!?
Lets stop paying TV licenses now.its not worth it. Also stop visiting stadiums.kudlalwa ngabantu!!
bonakala ngokugxotha abasasazi ukuthi real you guys you don't car about us
Just simple response from the pirates supporter “fusegani zinja”
You are forgiven we understand that,it’s hard to manage a dead 💀 SOE.
Fokoff Stella u are selling us u damned
apology shit.this is shit for the people of SA.where are we going ? minister pls rectify this
Sibhejile bra please make plans tomorrow
I opologise for not paying my TV licence. 'Fair'
Sabc is useless ill never pay tv license again ill take the money and pay dstv
They should just quit because the SABC and the department of communications are not taking the digital migration seriously something that will allow more channels and sports channels to form independently so others can get a chance to compete with Supersport.
Bring back Hlaudi!!!!!
But guys SABC nothing can do here you supposed to blame psl who sold all rights to super sport and supe sport want Avery big money for right lol the money SABC don’t have so psl to be blamed here who doesn’t think for ordinary people
This is still a state capture because multichioce has been cutting jobs due to low subscriptions because Netflix, now you WMC want to pay just for soccer.
Actually what happened
Bull
We forgive you👍🏾
Mxm!!!!
They must not tell us to pay TV license anytime soon
They knew in time that PSL soccer match is to be resume , it seems as they're ready for total shut down of South Africa .
nealcol Shame on sabc you guys are the bunch of jokes serious, what are you apologising for? Or for your mismanagement
nealcol Unacceptable, shitty cooperation
They may as well not show any , vele they show kak games
So what exactly are you broadcasting vele,ppl watch TV for soccer not those propaganda news your broadcasting,you rubbish
We don't need your apology...you broadcast shit all the time
Poor SABC
Mxm 🤮
SABCNewsonline who ever is in charge of this S. O. E needs to be fired. Clearly you don't care about the poor.
And, I must pay my 📺 license? Hell no! Come get me.
I think it is all because of multichoice's going, khoza and his crew are collaborating with multichoice to make as much money at our expense. I why di the put a condition in their agre wit Supersport that at least 20% of games should be given to SABC.
Congratulations Ladies and Gentlemen, keep on showing movies, comedies and legacies, that's where you excel, and SpongeBob whatever you call it. No need to apologize.
Sa r your apology
Thanks to hlaudi
And they expect people to for TV licences
I was expecting this so I'm not surprised
SABC is a circus
This is painful, poor South Africans are prevented from watching football, some of us couldn't watch our favourite teams.
The people wanted football, not apologies
This is where socialism doesn't work. The SABC sadly has been looted and ransacked for years and now the chickens are coming home to roost. The people should pay their tv licenses or else they'll need to contend with this for now. Capitalists like Cyril don't play. Eskom is next.
Futsek maaan
No, SABC must not apologies for ensuring the poor masses who love soccer while voting for ANC won't see or listen to soccer. It's Karma :-)
Dont apologize...PSL and Supersport are the evil ones.
Now stop sending me those stupid and boring SMS that I MUST pay TV license. 🙄🙄
It's not even on radio. Is this the beginning of the end?
Not surprising
Very disappointed
It was expected 😳😳
You can shutdown & save billions of our taxes on bailouts.
Ave niyimisangano!!!Hlaudi was better

This SABC is captured and the only thing they know is to televise Black Label Beer Cup. I mean how can you buy rights to televise EPL games? mxim you have failed our people no excuses bunch of failures
So the SABC is still not willing to pay, wonder how much are they making on premierleague. SadDayInSA SPORTATSABC
And you wonder why people do not pay for tv license
What is the problem for not televising
Can u give us a reason why did not televised this games
Howbeit that💰is still given 2 Eskom? In da expense of SABC n⚽? City of Tshwane top management gave themselves 18% pay hike?😞Denel can't pay it's workers! Transnet can't function. 49% of unemployment? M so glad I neva voted ANC! 😤😤

Guys lets pay our tv linceses atleast they will go somewhere in alleviating this financial problem that sabc is facing
How much did you pay for the EPL rights for their low profile games ? Was that commercially viable?

Lol....Kunzima eSA
What will happen to thomasmlambo show on Monday?
Rubbish SABC u Gona apologize for ever coz u Gona take all those important games to Supersport

U people are good at milking our money but when it comes to service this days it's like I'm in a country that has just started broadcasting...u really need 2 give us good service or stop sending us messages of wanting ur money.
Never watch SABC anyway!
SABC is so disappointing, the best thing that they can do is to say sorry. Soccer is one of the biggest Sport event that poor people follow and watch, now people will be overcrowding taverns to watch game while drinking their money to zero. It's a shame, every year same story.
😡🤬
If SABC can't get the basic right how will it grow and make money. Things like local sports code soccer, cricket, rugby sure . And news, all national events I'm so disappointed
Bring back Hlaudi
Blame it on dstv rather 😉👌
Mxm
Asiyimukeli le apology, SABC can do better than this.
I rest my case
yeah you have let me down
Mxm!!!
And we must pay TV licenses? Never Sbally.

Why vele you can't just apologize without explanation, what happened cause you have known that OfficialPSL games are starting today.
supersport gets the rights then charge the public to pay for them .where do they think sabc is going to get the money for rights
Msunu yenu

Mxm

Boks_26 SABC what's wrong?
Disappointed
Boks_26 apology not accepted
Next time Government bailout should come with strict and tight conditions of Broadcasting live PSL/Bafana Bafana/Banyana/Amajita/Springboks/The Proteas games. This thing of yos is a useless and waste taxpayers money
Tsek
PSL is not serious.....m
Mxm useless SABC, whatever

But why every season same problem?
Sabc sports is a mabena😡
Nisibulele shame, we will be forced to overload our budget to squeeze in SUPERSPORT /DSTV. 😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
Why should we pay TV license?
all sabc employees and management are also watching World of champions
Sabc always dissapointing but always say pay you tv licence,is a right thing to do.
I dnt have anything against sabc they must look for other content sports rights are expensive and unsustainable.
Apology not accepted.
Mxm you not serious

Millions left stranded as SABC confirms blackout of PSL matchesIt has been confirmed that the cash-strapped South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) will not televise the opening round of Absa Premiership matches this weekend. Ever since SABCNewsOnline turned into a propaganda channel I've banned it in my house. We watch internet channels now, so they can go to hell with their tv licence State of the 🇿🇦 nation 👉🏼 no OfficialPSL action on SPORTATSABC for the opening weekend. No mapensela11. Unbelievable. lux_september tell us again how wonderful life is. This is an opportunity for people who are business minded and have funds to start a TV sports channel that will be accessible to the low class citizens at free of charge. .People like Motsepe must start investing on such initiations, i wish i had funds to inject

PSL matches face possible SABC blackoutLess than 48 hours before the start of the anticipated domestic football season‚ the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) are yet to confirm whether they have secured the rights to broadcast the upcoming Absa Premiership. That's very sad for the masses in the rural areas and the ones who cannot afford expensive pay tv such as multichoice-dstv and others, I think the PSL has to compromise when it comes to PSL games as much as it's business but the poor public is deprived because of that Ahh it's not news anymore...SABC goes on like that every season trying to get attention from government... besides they braodcasting boring games and expect to get revenue 🤦🏽♂️
