The SABC8 are among the witnesses scheduled to appear on Monday before the ad hoc committee probing the broadcaster. Suna Venter‚ Foeta Krige‚ Krivani Pillay‚ Thandeka Gqubule‚ Busisiwe Ntuli‚ Lukhanyo Calata‚ Vuyo Mvoko and Jacques Steenkamp were axed by the public broadcaster earlier this year for speaking out against its policy of not showing footage of violent protests. They were later reinstated following a Labour Court ruling‚ and last month vowed to continue with a Constitutional Court battle against the SABC despite reportedly being intimidated and receiving death threats. On Tuesday, SABC board chairman Mbulaheni Maguvhe is scheduled to appear before the committee.
