*CWU WELCOMES SABC DICISION TO BROADCAST ALL REMAINING AFCON GAMES LIVE* * *
*27 JANUARY 2012* The Communication Workers Union (CWU), an affiliate of Cosatu, and the voice of Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) sector workers welcomes the decision to broadcast all the remaining AFCON games live – and not so called “delayed live”. We think it is correct for the SABC to listen to the plea of masses of our people in rural and urban areas – many of whom pay their television licences year in and year out. CWU is inspired by the words of the newly appointed Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) when she says “…for us as public broadcaster, it was important to listen to our viewer’s needs, and try to accommodate them, with our means. It is important to us that we strive to balance the diverse wants and needs of the public and we are aware that this tournament goes beyond soccer and is an important vehicle which unites people across the continent.” As a wise man once observed: "Football isn't a matter of life or death, it's much more important than that.” * * *Contact * * * *Matankana Mothapo, National Spokesperson - 0827590900* -- You are subscribed.
