  • More SABC Censorship: Metro FM Show Cancelled Minutes Before Airing

    Last night, minutes before a MetroFM DJ was due to hold an interview about the ANC’s upcoming elective conference, the hand of censorship showed up and the interview was canned.

    The SABC has been having a field day censoring things left right and centre of late, and this is looking more and more like something we should just get used to.

    The show was to start at 20h00 last night with host Sakina Kamwendo: Sunday Times political editor S’thembiso Msomi, Business Day political editor Sam Mkokeli and Southern African bureau chief of the Financial Times, Andrew England, were all already at the SABC studios when the hand of censorship exercised its right.

    Here is how it played out, according to Msomi:

    While in the studio, a call came through and one of the producers came in and asked us our names and publications we represented. Soon after the call was transferred to Kamwendo. She spoke to someone for a few minutes. A short while later we were told our views would no longer be needed.

    The Mail and Guardian reported that that minutes before they were due on air, “higher powers” had instructed Kamwendo not to host the journalists.

    Fun times.
