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.
I wonder how come Fikile you call yourself a politician. You always get blame others instead of accepting the trueth. Be the man stand for trueth.

Here comes the blame game. It would be so much easier to just accept that people rejected the anc's destructive reign of 27 years.
They will blame everyone and everything under the sun except themselves
If and When u aren't happy about coverage or any content of any broacaster...u report that complaint to BCCSA (Broadcasting Complaints Commission of SA)...that is an institution created for that purpose among others...
Ypical useless transport minister, ask him what happened to trains under his leadership. He is a nonses person.
They can’t even see their wrongs 🤦🏾♂️
That's a new low in the blame game even for Mbalula.
Blaming everyone at this point
Eish this one
Greed , lies , fraud and corruption caused their down fall. Voertsekanc
Ubesefuna ukuvotelwa yi SABC yini
SABC has done its mandate fairly as a public broadcaster reported the truth about the party factionalism
Self introspection, where did we go wrong, what needs to be done in the near future, give fèdback to the electorate, apologies
The Anc has to blame someone
Mbax accept criitical criticism thus growth, listen carefully to conent in the context.ANC has to pull her socks,do quality control seriously
fokofANC...this clown needs to go to arts and drama in Government...he would pass very well for a stooge...
Taking accountability was never an option there by ANC
Why are they blaming everyone but themselves 🙄

POLL | Do you think the ANC realises why it lost in the local government election?'We didn't lose elections, we lost to coalitions because of our failure to garner [an] outright majority to govern,' claimed Mbalula. We didn't loose, but we lost. And Zimbabweans didn't vote for you guys this time , to hell with them.
