The Retrenchment process at the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC)  continues to unfold. The public broadcaster is said to be continuing issuing retrenchment letters.  The SABC says it has reduced the number of employees who will be affected from 600 to just over 300. It says it has to reduce the wage bill to make the organisation financially sustainable.

The SABC started issuing letters of redundancy and surplus in November. However, following objections by unions, political parties, and civil society, it halted the retrenchment process to allow for further consultation last month.

According to reports 303 jobs are expected to be lost.
