I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

S.Africa: Strange case of the SABC Loyalty Audit!!
[This is quite a bizarre one, and it was vehemently denied by the head of the SABC (South African Broadcasting Corporation). It is alleged that they wanted to know who in the news department supported the government. It was all denied later. Yet, I doubt you’d find many South Africans who don’t believe the SABC has become politicised and is really the propaganda arm of the ANC. TV News reports for example, are often couched in the most twisted of ways. I noted a recent one, sniping at the DA without respite. I have no doubt that the SABC news teams are politicised – but of course, in public they have to pretend that they are “fair”. What a joke. Jan]
Cape Town – The SABC denied on Monday that one of its board members asked for a loyalty audit of its news department.
Rapport and City Press reported on Sunday that this audit would determine “who in the newsroom supported the government”.
There were also allegations that the broadcaster was trying to lure Snuki Zikalala, formerly involved with television news, back to the SABC as head of news (television and radio).
The weekend papers claimed that one of the SABC’s other board members rejected the audit request.
Peter Matlare, chief executive of the SABC, denied these allegations and said they were misleading and an attempt to discredit the corporation and its board.
“The conversation dealt with the public broadcaster’s state of preparedness for the coming election.
In this regard, a decision was taken that management should determine the skills levels of journalists and support personnel,” Matlare explained.
A decision was also taken to advertise the position of news chief.
Applications closed on Monday and interviews will be held shortly.
“The corporation believes that it shouldn’t go into the election coverage without a head of news. At this stage, no person has been selected for this post,” Matlare said, referring to rumours that the post had been earmarked for Zikalala.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Alliance indicated that it would be opposed to Zikalala returning to the SABC.
“His talents as a voice of government is sufficiently utilised in his current position as spokesperson for the department of labour,” Dene Smuts said.
