I've watched, I've tracked it, I've scrutinised it constantly with a critical eye for over 25 years. Believe me when I say that the SABC's coverage of itself (i.e. SABC News reporting about the SABC) is now the best, most honest, fair and most truthful it's been in 20 years.

BAD. Awful questioning for television. What is the person interviewed supposed to say after such an inappropriately long question? Why is Steve Harvey as an American entertainer asked advice on a SA economic issue? Why did the reporter keep talking? Who edited the @eNCA piece?
