Fani-Kayode refuses interview invitation after livestream ‘exclusion’ — SABC

The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) announced that Nigeria's High Commissioner Femi Fani-Kayode declined an interview invitation after protesting the exclusion of his speech from a livestream of a diplomatic ceremony hosted by President Cyril Ramaphosa. The SABC expressed regret over the envoy's decision but remained open to engaging with him and the Nigerian High Commission.

While the SABC did not address the specific allegation that Fani-Kayode's presentation was excluded from the livestream, they clarified that they covered the ceremony through the SABC News LIVE channel on SABC+, the SABC News Channel on DStv Channel 404, and published a clip on their official X account of the High Commissioner speaking to President Cyril Ramaphosa.
