TV hosts must sharpen their interviewing skills

I LISTENED to an interview Caesar Molebatsi conducted with ANC spokesperson Jackson Mthembu on June 23.

What I expected to hear was in what capacity Zwelinzima Vavi criticised corruption in the ANC - as Cosatu general secretary or as a member of the ANC.

If he acted in his capacity as general secretary of Cosatu, why would the ANC want to take disciplinary action against him?

I expected Molebatsi to raise the issue in order to highlight the problem of dual membership of members of the alliance ,which I have described as running with the hares and hunting with the hounds.

Some SABC radio and TV show hosts' interviewing skills are poor.
