“I am not aware that Ukhozi FM had no news bulletins. As far as I know‚ all our programmes are on air. There were two or three stations which had problems with their current affairs shows because of connection issues. That has been resolved now‚” he said.
SABC employees are demanding a 10% salary increase‚ Du Buisson said.
“We filed a dispute and sat for conciliation at the CCMA last week‚ but we were not able to resolve the issue.
“When we were about to file a notice to embark on a strike‚ the SABC offered a 4.5% salary increase‚ which was rejected by our members because the increase is only backdated for six months.”
He said the strike will continue until employees’ demands are met.
