Power outage disrupts SABC services
The SABC says the prolonged power outage in Auckland Park has disrupted transmission.
The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) has informed the public of an interruption in some of its broadcasting services due to a prolonged power outage in the Auckland Park area since Sunday morning. The corporation has been relying on generator power, which has hampered its ability to maintain normal transmission operations across certain platforms and services.
On Tuesday, City Power indicated that the duration of the restoration period remains uncertain following a secondary explosion. SABC's technical teams are working tirelessly to minimize interruptions and restore affected services as swiftly as possible. Mmoni Ngubane, the Head of Communications and Stakeholder Relations at the SABC, stated that the corporation is collaborating with relevant stakeholders to mitigate the impact.
Ngubane expressed regret, saying, "The SABC sincerely apologises for any inconvenience caused to audiences and stakeholders. Further updates will be communicated through the SABC’s official platforms as more information becomes available."
