M&g Newsroom: What's New At The Sabc?

Listen live between 1pm and 2pm.

This week's M&G Newsroom hosts Phillip de Wet and Amanda Strydom delve into this week's big stories, including news on the SABC's plans for two 24-hour news channels, and the battle for cellphone masts in Northcliff. We'll also take a look at five Bills President Jacob Zuma quietly signed into law last week and what they mean.

Newly appointed Mail & Guardian editor-in-chief Chris Roper speaks to us about his new role and the future of digital journalism.

Zimbabwe editor Teldah Mawarire will tell us about our neighbour's readiness for the July 31 elections and what outcome could be expected.

In between all the news you need to know, we'll bring you the Choon of the Week, dedicated to one deserving public figure, and some extra good music to top it all off.
