It said that this attempt by the ANC's head of elections to scapegoat the public broadcaster for the party's poor performance was concerning as no formal complaint had been received on its coverage.
Mbalula singled out the SABC's Service Delivery Gauge, a show that looked into the performance of municipalities in providing basic service delivery. He said the show ruthlessly attacked the ANC, making SABC the party's “big problem” in the election. He said the SABC ran a “campaign” which led to South Africans deciding not to cast their votes on November 1.
“You were in all these majority municipalities and showing our weakness. Fine and good ... I even said to her [SABC head of news Phathiswa] Magopeni, 'Leave it to the voters.' She said, 'Do your job, I'm doing my job'. I said, 'Fine, very good. I'll do my job to the best of my ability against a ruthless SABC attacking the ANC left and right'," Mbalula said.
“How do you tell a person to go and vote when there is a campaign on television every day that is running 'I'm not going to vote'," he said.

Punishment? Fikile Mbalula responds to ANC defeat in Gauteng metros'If there's any punishment is by our voters who did not come out in numbers to vote,' Mbalula said. There is no such thing called 'our voters.' You only count 'voters who went out and actually voted for you.' Those who did not vote, did not vote and no one can claim them as his/her voters. In fact: If you are not voting, what could have been a vote does not count as such. Yadda Yadda.. How m i your voter if I didn’t come n vote for you?
