International Connections


As an international broadcaster the SABC strives to maintain and develop sound relations with other broadcasters, particularly in Africa, but elsewhere in the world as well. Accordingly the corporation is an active member of several broadcasting bodies. They are:

  1] The Union of National Radio & Television Organisations of Africa (URTNA)

  2] The Southern African Broadcasting Association (SABA)

  3] The Commonwealth Broadcasting Association (CBA)

  4] Public Broadcasting International (PBI)

Through these bodies the SABC works for the common good of broadcasting in general, towards establishing relationships that will help to address the unique challenges faced by African broadcasters and the better positioning of public service broadcasters in relation to the rights providers for broadcasting of events such as sport. These bodies also provide an excellent platform for advancing the continental goals of the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD), which the SABC fully supports.

 

Legislative and Regulatory Organs

The SABC is subject to and guided by several Acts of Parliament and regulatory organs that oversee some of the aspects of the Corporation.

Below find links to several of these Acts and regulatory documents and websites that will throw some light on the way in which the organisation is governed.
