Black Coffee's army jumped into the conversation and voted for the 90% quota to stay.
The 90% local content quota was reviewed shortly after former SABC COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng was suspended. An interim board discussed the reversal of the controversial quota for several weeks before a decision was made.
SABC spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago told TshisaLIVE the board made a decision to revert to the directive set by Icasa which will determine how much local content is played.
"The board was guided by the principles made by Icasa. We wish to also make it clear that the SABC is not anti-transformation, the decision is to play as much local music as possible but never below the quota set by Icasa, across all SABC radio stations," he said.
