The SABC has rejected attempts by Fikile Mbalula to blame the public broadcaster for the ANC's poor election performance.

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.

Haha. Too neutral

Shame. Just take the defeat.

Exactly the reason for poor performance - arrogance, denialism, and projection!

When you bankrupt the country from your corrupt actions, is sad the ANC has no courage to blame each other, they are responsible for their own moral destruction and now our Country

SouthAfricansP1 Razzmatazz u guys have only yourself to blame for being useless

During Zuma the SABC was like the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation ( ZBC) We want an independent SABC not controlled by the ANC and Ausi Fikile!

They took their direction from his style of running his portfolio, transport. I think they are still doing a better job than he did, he even told people to vote for the eff 🤔

This one is only barking he is not relevant anymore...from number 1 to him must just vacate he thinks he is almighty

Wonder who he will blame in 2024 if he loses his position as cabinet minister VoetsekANC
