Johannesburg – The SABC Board has announced it will suspend the planned retrenchments of about 400 employees until the end of the year amid the protests by workers at the public broadcaster.
The SABC intends to retrench 400 workers, but from those 170 will be re-employed in a newly structured SABC. The SABC says it is under pressure to save over R700 million in wages each year. In the last financial year, the SABC spent R2.35 billion on salaries and reported a loss of R511m. Following protests on Friday, the SABC announced it had suspended the retrenchment process for seven days to allow engagements with worker representatives and unions, who continued to lead lunchtime pickets by workers.
What does that imply, they must stop this nonsense of RETRENCHMENT for good. How do they expect people to survive? Let them wait until the end of Covid19. They are tjatjarig! Too fast to act. Jesses!
So this was the important announcement that Minister Stellarated was to make.
Is this really MY SABC? I know I pay for it, but now, it's trying to make me pay over and on top of, and have nothing to show for all of this and become a gov mouthpiece and give biased reporting and ....... What's actually mine?
Viva SABC workers. Let them remove top dogs.
