The SABC has announced its intention to retrench 303 employees following negotiations with unions and other affected parties within the public broadcaster.

SABC acting spokesperson Mmoni Seapolelo said it had concluded its Section 189 process after an extensive six-month consultation process.

“This Section 189 process exceeded the minimum legislative requirements of 60 days and four sessions and was finalised on November 6, 2020. However, on November 23, 2020, the SABC board suspended the execution of the process by 30 days to enable management to further engage directly with employees on the proposed structures. The extended consultation process ended on December 31, 2020,” Seapolelo said.

However, the final number of redundancies was dependent on the acceptance of the proposed alternatives and the number of employees who would opt for voluntary severance packages and early retirement.
