SABC Blacklisting: Mpofu Cries Racism

Dali Mpofu, the Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of the SABC, has almost predictably responded to the blacklisting affair by shouting "racism!"

Alarmingly, Mpofu will be calling in John Perlman to face disciplinary hearings seemingly for the embarresment he caused the SABC by contradicting and challenging the naked lies told by an SABC spokesperson he was interviewing on air.

John Perlman was interviewing an SABC spokesman, Kaizer Kganyago live on air. Kganyago insisted that there was no blanket ban on anyone at the SABC. What followed this remark was totally unacceptable to the SABC.

Perlman responded by challenging Kganyago's blatant lie. He informed his listeners that the system of excluding commentators was "already in practice". Perlman stated “Mr. Kganyago, it is happening in practice that certain people are no longer being used on SABC by instruction”.

Responding to the public reaction to this scandal the SABC GCEO called the entire affair a "storm in a teacup" and added that it is a "blood-lust of the right-wing lobby and its fellow travellers in the mass media."

Mpofu then inverted the entire affair projecting his racist inclinations onto those calling for change at the SABC. He did himself no service by inventing a conspiracy theory where evil white racists are trying to wrestle control of the SABC from the current black powers.

This battle is not about one or other commentator or a 'blacklist' or Zikalala. It is about wresting control of the SABC, of the hearts and minds and ultimately, of the country, from us barbarians. "Well folks, it is over for good. The savage natives are in charge, and democratically so. "The bottom line is that there is no blacklist at the SABC and there is most certainly no crisis.

This is the man whom we have to rely on to implement the recommendations of the commission and to do the right thing and get rid of Dr. Snuki Zikalala.

God save South Africa.

Come on...are you saying that the "blood-lust of the right-wing lobby and its fellow travellers in the mass media" doesnt exist?

Its so funny really. The right-wing lobby? It was the Mail & Guardian who published the report. Are they a right wing group? Hillarious. It just shows the level of knowledge that you should continue to expect from this sorry excuse for a man.
