Nomsa Chabeli, Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), has emphasized the critical role of government investment in ensuring the sustainability of public broadcasters. In a recent briefing to Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Communications and Digital Technologies, Chabeli, alongside SABC Board Chairperson Khathutshelo Ramukumba, presented the broadcaster’s comprehensive five-year turnaround plan.
Chabeli’s remarks underscored the financial challenges faced by the SABC, highlighting that without government support, the survival of a public broadcaster becomes nearly impossible. The turnaround plan aims to address these challenges and reposition the SABC for future success, focusing on revitalizing its operations and securing a stable financial footing.
