Kaizer Kganyago told reporters that "SABC Employee Disputes" are not in the public interest.
He is misguided in this statement. When the public want to know why a competent, well loved newsreader is suddenly taken off air, they have the right to know. It is in the public's interest to know. News is in the public interest.
Similarly, when a whistleblower on corruption in the Public Broadcaster is dismissed, the public has the right to know why.
This reporter can at least venture a learned opinion. People who question gangsters are silenced at such a rapid pace that it really is not newsworthy any more. Sad.
Retrenchment talk
The Minister of Communication has referred to the SABC as being "Staff Heavy". Comrades, it is very urgent that you provide the Shop Stewards Council with information on your top heavy line management:
1. Are they needed?
2. What is their actual contribution to the SABC?
3. Do they get the best out of their staff?
These reports are required by your Shop Steward - let us make sure the real dead wood (expensive managers) are retrenched. We must mobilise against any attempts to reduce numbers in the bargaining unit - we are here to work.
If anyone must be retrenched, it should be those outside the bargaining unit.

Message to Mr Solly Mokoetle
If indeed it is so that Mr Mokoetle does not have the time to hear Comrade Rian Geldenhuys' appeal, we request that he at the very least promises protection for Mr Simon Swart, who is today, Wednesday 3 February 2010, burdened with making one of the most difficult decisions ever.
1. Do the right thing, and stand up against communist wife
2. Do the wrong thing, and support communist wife in her unlawful quest to silence all critics, Orwelian style.
Mr Swart - please take the right decision or, once again, the only winners will be the lawyers. They already have enough money. The SABC needs that money more than they do. Please save the SABC a fortune, and stand up against the fat cats pretending to be for the people.
