MPs raise concern that SABC is on the brink of collapse

THE South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) faces a serious risk of collapse due to financial instability, outdated infrastructure, and an unsustainable funding model.

This, according to Khusela Sangoni Diko, chairperson of Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Communications and Digital Technologies.

Briefing the media yesterday during a presentation by the Chairpersons of the Economic Cluster, Diko said that the Committee has growing concerns about the broadcaster's viability, particularly in light of delays to key legislative reforms and the burden currently being carried by other state entities.

"The SABC is at risk of collapse. It's burdened by unsustainable debt, outdated infrastructure, and a broken funding model," said Sangoni Diko.
