Malatsi stellt 234 Millionen Rand für den SABC bereit

Minister Solly Malatsi hat dem SABC im Rahmen des 2,5 Milliarden Rand umfassenden Budgets seines Ministeriums für das Geschäftsjahr 2026/2027 234 Millionen Rand zugewiesen.

Malatsi gab die Einzelheiten der Zuweisung während der Vorstellung der Ausgaben seines Ministeriums im Parlament am 12. Mai 2026 bekannt. Er merkte an, dass 1,7 Milliarden Rand des Gesamtbudgets an Portfolio-Einheiten übertragen würden, darunter 505 Millionen Rand für ICASA, 112 Millionen Rand für das Film and Publication Board und 595 Millionen Rand für die South African Post Office.

Der Minister lobte den SABC dafür, dass er zum zweiten Mal in Folge uneingeschränkte Prüfungsurteile erhalten hat. Er erklärte, dass dieser Fortschritt die laufenden Arbeiten an einem neuen Finanzierungsmodell unterstütze, das in Absprache mit dem National Treasury entwickelt wurde.

Malatsi hob die Budgetbeschränkungen hervor, mit denen das Portfolio konfrontiert ist. Er sagte, diese Begrenzungen beeinträchtigten die Fähigkeit der Einheiten, ihre Mandate zu erfüllen und gleichzeitig kommerzielle Aktivitäten mit den Verantwortlichkeiten des öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunks in Einklang zu bringen.
