Show Notes
The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) has decided to cancel the popular current affairs show Face the Nation, citing routine programming adjustments based on performance reviews. However, a report in the Sunday Times suggests political pressure from the presidency and ANC headquarters as the real reason for the cancellation. SABC leaders deny these claims, emphasizing their commitment to editorial independence and impartiality. Host Clement Manyathela defends the shows strong track record, while presidency spokesperson Magwenya dismisses interference claims as a lie.
