It is crucial that we understand whether this is a permanent change, a once-off incident, or something else entirely," said DA national spokesperson, Willie Aucamp. Similarly, lobby group AfriForum has promised to take on the SABC. In a letter sent to the chairperson, chief executive and management of the SABC, AfriForum demanded an explanation. The team and listeners shared their reactions to SABC chopping off the Afrikaans news.
