SABC replacing white radio presenters to comply with licence

South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) radio stations are expected to axe a number of white radio presenters in the coming days to fulfil licence agreements with the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA).

The SABC has 18 radio channels. Those that will be most affected are SAFM, Good Hope FM, 5FM and Radio Sonder Grense.

"Various changes are being made to SABC radio station line-ups to accommodate ICASA's licence conditions," SABC spokeswoman Lesego Mncwango said.

The regulations, which came into effect in August 2003, stipulate that public radio stations have to be 40% black empowered. Commercial radio stations have to be 25% empowered.
