The litigation process is a costly exercise that often invites public attention and has reputational repercussions for any organisation. Despite these risks, the SABC has prioritised good governance and made representation before the courts to correct past malpractices, save the company money and is en route to restoring its corporate image.
With governance practices a key focus for the SABC’s turnaround efforts, the corporation has been actively driving initiatives to strengthen decision-making and address historic wrongdoings. Recent legal successes signal the corporation’s shift to correct past mistakes and re-establish a culture of good governance at the public broadcaster.

The Communication Workers Union (CWU) and the Broadcasting, Electronic, Media & Allied Workers Union (BEMAWU) met on Wednesday and decided to take to the streets.
The SABC is currently in the process of retrenchments that will affect more than 300 employees.
CWU spokesperson, Aubrey Tshabalaba, says the unions have not received any feedback from the SABC Board, over concerns that additional workers are now also receiving redundancy notices.
