The evolution of the broadcast media has impacted the lives of millions of South Africans.

On the 15th September 1997 an admissions that the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) promoted apartheid emerged at a Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearing in Johannesburg. The Commission was hearing testimony on the media's role in the apartheid years. While former SABC staff members, like television news editor Johan Pretorius, claimed the service minimised the effects of apartheid, others claimed it often exceeded the wishes of its apartheid bosses. Lets take you the down memory lane with Angie Kapelianis, Head of Digital and Audio Visual and former SABC field reporter speaking to Veteteran Broadcaster Bra Tim Modise on the TRC and SABC matters...

The provincial electoral officer, Nkaro Mateta, says the voting stations opened at seven in the morning and will close at nine in the evening.

The Northern Cape was the last office, where the SABC established a presence for its news division in 1996. Some of the pioneers, say those early days as the country transformed into a democracy, things were difficult.

Die minister van Basiese Onderwys, Siviwe Gwarube, sê die befondsing van vroeë kinderontwikkeling is van kritieke belang, aangesien dit deel is van die departement se vyf sleutelprioriteite. Die voorwaardelike toelae vir vroeë kinderontwikkeling het tot meer as 1,7 miljard Suid-Afrikaanse vir die 2025/2026-boekjaar gestyg, met meer as 230 miljoen rand wat aan 'n ontwikkelingvoedingsprojek en 162 miljoen rand wat vir infrastruktuur opsy gesit is.

As the SABC celebrates its 75th year, another historical moment in our country's history was the Convention for a Democratic South Africa CODESA; a series of multi-party negotiations in South Africa from 1991 to 1993, aimed at ending apartheid and establishing a democratic government. It involved various political parties, including the African National Congress (ANC) and the National Party (NP), and focused on drafting a new constitution and establishing an interim government. Negotiations covered crucial topics such as the structure of the new constitution, the establishment of an interim government, and the future of the divided homelands. Let us hear more from the late former South African President Nelson Mandela on the formation of CODESA...

His master's voice - a phrase that once upon time was used when frequently referring to the SABC. The meaning, is that the SABC board - and inevitably the newsroom - pandered to the government of the day. And this was not only before 1994 It took former employees, Parliament and civil society to intervene to turn the ship around and to change the sentiment. In recent history the operations of the SABC board are open to more scrutiny and transparency. Zalene Merrington and Video Journalist Hubert Slingers takes a look at the process of appointing the SABC board

Veteran Broadcaster Ike Phaahla joins us on the line by his reflection of the valuable time spent at SABC News

From the crackle of the radio in quiet townships to the glare of breaking news on television screens, the South African Broadcasting Corporation has been there through it all. Starting from the days, when news was censored and re-broadcasts were ordered from the highest office in the land to a new era, when freedom sometimes felt overwhelming, the SABC has kept pace with the changing South African landscape. Kamogelo Seekoei reports.

Die minister het aan die SABC News gesê die befondsing is noodsaaklik om te midde van finansiële druk dienste te onderhou:

As we celebrate 75 years of news on the SABC's platforms, we revisit one of the most hilarious moments in South African television news history. Riaan Cruywagen is synonymous with professionalism and perfectionism - the ultimate South African news presenter. Cruywagen perfectly presented the Afrikaans television news for 37 years. One night, however, he showed his "human" side, after an on-air incident which is still being remembered by millions of South Africans. SABC News' Liezl Olivier reports

Die MK-party het 'n strafsaak teen die minister van Polisie, Senzo Mchunu en adjunk-nasionale polisiekommissaris Shadrack Sibiya by Pretoria se Brooklyn-polisiestasie aanhangig gemaak. Dit is vir meineed en regsverydeling ná bewerings deur die KwaZulu-Natalse polisiekommissaris Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.
