Pretoria – Presidency spokesperson, Vincent Magwenya, has refuted a report in the Sunday Times that says the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) bowed to political pressure and pulled the plug on Clement Manyathela’s TV show “Face the Nation”.
The public broadcaster cancelled Face the Nation, the hard-hitting political talk show, with the programme ending this month after a two-year run.
In an early morning post on X, Magwenya said: “This is a complete lie. There was no political pressure on the SABC to cancel the show.
“@TheRealClementM and @SABCNews must come out and communicate the real reason for the cancellation of the show.”
