The problem with gate-keepers is they tend to overdo their tasks and think of themselves as the only solution to their masters' demands.We see this kind of behaviour especially in institutions that rely on government patronage.As the man in charge of the public broadcaster that is slowly changing into a state broadcaster, SABC chief operating officer Hlaudi Motsoeneng is overreaching and is now embarrassing even his handlers.But we can' t blame everything that is wrong at the SABC on Motsoeneng and we should also expose his foot soldiers and handlers.For the SABC to be liberated from political agendas, we should look beyond Motsoeneng.South Africa's struggle to have free and unfettered access to information should never stop.We come from a past where all South Africans were force-fed propaganda. Whites were told about black communists who would kill them. They were told that black people were happy under white rule, bar a few communists who claimed to speak on behalf of the masses.A number of black leaders fought to keep the "homeland system" intact.To them black people were either naïve or mentally unable to handle democracy.That is why we had black supporters of the worst form of government.It is then not surprising that Motsoeneng has support both inside and outside the SABC.Those who view objection to his rule as counter-revolutionary easily forget how censorship delayed democracy in this country.We again call on the ANC to join other voices and fight Motsoeneng's censorship.Failure to step in will come back to bite the ANC.Let the chief induna and his supporters know that the SABC belongs to all of us and they alone cannot determine what is good or bad for us as news consumers...
