What works well (and not so well)

What is good at the SABC, and must be retained?

  • Unique skills. A very special breed of people broadcasts - that will never change.
  • Dedication. Like in many NGO's, you'll find people at the SABC that are willing to spend their lives serving the public for "just enough" reward.
  • Talent. Many contributors to and employees of the SABC have immense unmined talent.
  • Inquisitive people, who constantly seek to reach the pinnacle - to be the best in broadcasting, and to seek out the best, most cost effective innovations to inspire, empower, inform, educate and entertain.
  • Austere people, who understand that Public Money does not belong to them
  • A massive material archive, with a gold mine of inspiration, empowerment, information, education and entertainment just waiting to be mined

What is bad at the SABC, and must be rejected?
  • Consultants who know little about broadcasting.
  • Consultants who know little about South Africans
  • Consultants who deliberately confuse, to collect more daily fees
  • Deployees of the ruling party
  • Friends of deployees of the ruling party
  • Girlfriends of deployees of the ruling party
  • Neglectful, uncaring people who destroy our only remaning assets (archives)
