SABC Crisis

Dear Colleagues, Comrades, Friends,

I have been dismayed at the very muted response from the industry to potentially the greatest crisis we ever faced. The SABC will spend R500 million less on independent production this year and next, effectively bringing our industry to a standstill for this period and beyond, most of us won’t survive.

We have one shot at reversing this we have to lobby, protest, shout, scream and demand that government intervene and insure the survival of our industry. We don’t have much time and we need every single one of you to participate, we need your energy, ideas and support. If this happens I’m confident we can get government to listen to us.
