BREAKING. JOKE OF THE YEAR! SABC wins award for . . . BEST REPUTATION.


You're reading it here first.

Mismanagement. Check.
Executive leadership crisis. Check.
Allegations of corruption. Check.
Suspended executive members. Check.
Suspended commissioning of local content. Check.

What can you possibly give the SABC for this wonderful, untarnished, unblemished and simply BRILLIANT modus operandi?

How about a bronze award for BEST REPUTATION????????????

I kid you not. IN WHAT IS SURELY THE ABSOLUTE BIGGEST JOKE OF THE YEAR, the SABC has been awarded a bronze award for best reputation.

The South African public broadcaster has been given a bronze in the community category for BEST REPUTATION at this year's Public Sector Excellence Awards held in Sandton.

The SABC also received a certificate for its ''high awareness level'' amongst South Africans.
I wonder: high awareness of WHAT exactly . . .?


''[The award] clearly states that the communities out there are aware of the service that the public broadcaster provides and they appreciate what we are doing,'' says Gab Mampone, the SABC's acting group chief executive officer.


What other AWARDS COULD THE SABC POSSIBLY BE WINNING NEXT?
How about the Proudly South African Award for supporting local content?
The Snuki Zikalala Award for International News coverage?
The Amagluglu Award for special recognition for corporate petrol cards use that goes above and truly beyond duty?
