SABC pats itself on the back

The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) supports the ‘Thank You SABC Music Concert’ by South African Artists that takes place at Orlando Stadium on Saturday, September 10, from 10am until late.

Earlier this year, the SABC took a decision to implement a 90% local music offering across all its radio stations and to reflect the diverse music genres.

Chief operations officer (COO) Hlaudi Motsoeneng stated that “this cross-pollination of music is very important for the public broadcaster, because part of our mandate is to tell the South African story and music plays an important part in ensuring that the SABC fulfills this mandate”.
