In a twist that has left South African rugby fans both baffled and amused, Sports Minister Zizi Kodwa has ignited a social media storm by suggesting that the upcoming Rugby World Cup should be broadcast on the radio, while SuperSport has snagged exclusive TV rights to all the thrilling action on the field.It seems South Africans have been left in stitches by the unexpected turn of events. The uproar began when SuperSport secured exclusive rights to broadcast all matches of the highly anticipated 2023 Rugby World Cup.

 

 
SABC STRANDED?
This move effectively sidelined the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), leaving many fans in disbelief. In response to this uproar, Minister Kodwa stepped onto the scene, calling for a resolution to ensure that millions of South Africans can witness the Rugby World Cup magic.

He emphasized the importance of the public broadcaster, SABC, fulfilling its mandate to cover sports of national interest and highlighted the role of rugby in nation-building and social cohesion.

ACCESSIBILITY FOR THE MASSES
Gary Rathbone, Founder of Sportscape Media and former SABC Sports General Manager, expressed his apprehension about the exclusivity of SuperSport’s deal. He raised a vital point that goes beyond price tags – accessibility.

While MultiChoice, SuperSport’s parent company, might have deep pockets, the SABC relies on advertising revenue, making it challenging to recover the costs associated with securing the rights.

Rathbone underscored that it’s not just about getting a bargain deal but ensuring that South Africa’s national team games remain accessible to all.

RUGBY WORLD CUP KICK-OFF

The clash of opinions has left the nation divided, with fans eagerly awaiting the outcome.

Will radio broadcasts score a try with the masses, or will SuperSport continue to dominate the scrum? Only time will tell. One thing is certain – this Rugby World Cup promises to be a game-changer, both on and off the field.

In recent weeks, Elton hinted at his state of mind in several Instagram posts.“Not done yet,” he captioned a pic of him wearing the Springboks kit. “My life”, he shared of a pic of his three children with his wife, Iva Ristic.

But while some rugby fans have dragged Elton, others have shared words of support.

My dear South African family, I have shown up to go along with you to begin another life here. Since your decision party ANC upholds oppression in our country, I’m certain it realizes that it presently has an honest conviction to take care of us. Tell me where the great drinking openings are, I’m a whisky man. You probably won’t care for your step kid, yet that kid remains yours until you dump the mother or father that you are hitched to. The ANC is as yet hitched to our decision party ZANUPF, treat us well!

Cyril Ramaphosa and Mbalula, Nomvula Mokonyane went to the introduction of Emmerson Mnangagwa who is blamed for gear decisions. His success is considered by others to be invalid and void and for Ramaphosa to go there, it appear as affront to Zimbabweans battling for a change.

Kgosi Mahumapelo, who is the CEO and founder of controversial music label Ambitiouz Entertainment, says haters are going to wait a bit longer for their downfall.

 
The businessman told TshisaLIVE on Wednesday, 6 September, that reports about the record label’s closure are not true.This came after Zimoja reported last week that Ambitiouz had allegedly closed shop due to financial issues.

A source told the publication that several staff members had not been paid and others had dragged the record label to the Commission for Concilation Mitigation and Arbitration (CCMA) for unfair dismissal.Another source alleged that Mahumapelo is also currently resolving a matter with the lawyers after he feportedly sold a car to one of his former employees fraudently, which was later repossessed because he did not own the car outright to sell it.

While Mahumapelo did not want to addresses allegations as about disgruntled employees and fraudulent dealings, he denounced rumours Ambitiouz is ceasing operations.

“We are not shutting down. We are growing and are poised to revolutionise the industry with an announcement,” Mahumapelo said.

Ambitiouz further told the publication that fans should brace themselves for a huge announcement on Friday, 8 September.

“We regret to inform you that you might need to stock up on more popcorn because Ambitiouz Entertainment isn’t going anywhere. We’re just getting started.

“It’s come to our attention that there are whispers and rumours of our imminent closure. To those who’ve been spreading these tales, we’d like to offer a heartfelt ‘nice try’. We’re saddened to report that if you were hoping for our exit, you’ll have to deal with our fabulousness for at least another decade.”
