Television industry workers will protest this week against the SABC’s planned R500-million cut of local content budgets, said the TVIEC on Tuesday.

The SABC’s decision not to commission new local content to reduce costs will kill the television industry, affected parties said on Thursday.

Television-industry players are set to meet on Thursday about a decision by the debt-ridden SABC to put new content commissions on hold.

A coalition of television workers will protest next week against the money crisis at the SABC, brought about by its ”arrogant” management.
