SABC must not employ celebs

THESE days we are getting a diet of mismanagement of funds by the SABC.

THESE days we are getting a diet of mismanagement of funds by the SABC.

Apart from the infighting of board members and MPs, what about the public broadcaster's chief executive being given the hopped and then reinstated?

Otherwise there is the repetition of old programmes imposed on us.

SABC soapies are also imitations of the American lifestyle and do not promote our culture and norms. They are taboo and immoral .

A few celebrities are doing many jobs at the SABC . DJ S'bu presents Friends like These at the SABC and also the breakfast show at YFM.

Besides these he has several other jobs, including businesses. He's also known as Mzekezeke

And Rebecca Malope, who is pathetic as a presenter, is imposed on viewers.

This gravy train must be stopped. The poor are crying for jobs, no wonder hungry people loot.

Millions of rands are wasted on people who don't need it. And because these celebrities think they are a brand, their salaries are high.

Why can't the throngs of the unemployed be employed instead?

I am not blaming the celebrities or being envious; they didn't employ themselves. I blame the management of the public broad-caster.
