James Aguma, CEO of the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), proposed to Parliament during a parliamentary portfolio committee meeting that your phone, tablet and computer be taxed similar to television sets. AfriBusiness is of the opinion that this proposal should be resisted strongly.

AfriBusiness will keep an eye on the situation and offer resistance if the proposal is entertained further. The financial mess in which the SABC finds itself cannot be blamed on the public. Government and its failed institutions cannot once again hold the South African community responsible for poor management and inefficient policies.
