To save jobs, the SABC wants to freeze salaries for every employee â from top to bottom â for 3 years, says its COO Ian Plaatjies.
The SABC will retrench at least 303 employees â almost half the projected number.

The public broadcaster said it may be able to reduce the final number of retrenchments if labour unions accept these proposed alternatives to job cuts:
Three-year salary freeze for all employees
Fewer annual leave days
Fewer sick leave days
