The Corporation is not engaged in a process aimed at reducing headcount in the sales division. Instead, the Corporation has initiated an organisational design review to ensure that the sales function is fit for purpose, both for the current market realities and for the future.<\/p>\n<p>The intent of this process is not to cut costs, but to realign roles, reorganise functions, and create efficiencies that better serve our mandate and commercial objectives. The final structure may result in the same number of roles or even an increase, depending on the outcome of the consultation process. All affected employees will have the opportunity to be considered for roles in the new structure.<\/p>\n<p>It is therefore misleading and irresponsible to report that the SABC\u2019s objective is to \u201cget rid\u201d of staff. Our focus remains on strengthening our sales function to better compete in the market and to safeguard the SABC\u2019s sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>We acknowledge and sincerely thank our sales teams for their continued commitment, resilience, and dedication in driving the SABC\u2019s commercial efforts. We appreciate their understanding and patience as we work through this process together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ENDS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Issued By:\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Group Communications<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Media Enquiries:\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u2002\u2002Mmoni Ngubane (Head of Communications)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"menur46a\" class=\"fui-Link ___1q1shib f2hkw1w f3rmtva f1ewtqcl fyind8e f1k6fduh f1w7gpdv fk6fouc fjoy568 figsok6 f1s184ao f1mk8lai fnbmjn9 f1o700av f13mvf36 f1cmlufx f9n3di6 f1ids18y f1tx3yz7 f1deo86v f1eh06m1 f1iescvh fhgqx19 f1olyrje f1p93eir f1nev41a f1h8hb77 f1lqvz6u f10aw75t fsle3fq f17ae5zn\" title=\"mailto:ngubanemv@sabc.co.za\" href=\"mailto:NgubaneMV@sabc.co.za\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Link NgubaneMV@sabc.co.za\"><strong>NgubaneMV@sabc.co.za<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0T. 011 714 3057| C. 073 688 1590<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Johannesburg \u2013 Thursday, 14 August 2025 &#8211;\u00a0The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) has noted several media reports regarding the development of its new Sales operating model and would like to provide clarity.
