SABC meltdown - hooraa!

The SABC, affectionately known as the SANC, is providing good drama right now. Yesterday, Snuki Zikala (remember his kak jackets?), group head of news and something, was suspended for gross misconduct. This was very exciting news, because Snuki is a brown-nosing Mbeki-ite with no integrity whatsoever. Dali Mpofu, group CEO and all-round toe-rag, did the suspending. But today I see in the MG that he's also been suspended, because the SABC board (root cause of all the problems with the state, sorry public broadcaster) didn't want Snuki suspended!

What a mess. Can't say I'm sorry to see either in trouble, but methinks this is all just petty parochial politics and ego (again), and has little to do with any principled issues. And no, don't expect SABC news to get any better as a result. I mean how can you top 15-minute news bulletins with hopelessly biased content, really awful production, and kak reporting? You can't!

This is quite a funny take on the whole issue:
