The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC)[a] is the public broadcaster in South Africa, and provides 19 radio stations (AM/FM) as well as six television broadcasts to the general public.[3] It is one of the largest of South Africa's state-owned enterprises.
In November 2022, the SABC launched its streaming service called SABC+.
Opposition politicians and civil society often criticise the SABC, accusing it of being a mouthpiece for whichever political party is in majority power, thus currently the ruling African National Congress; during the apartheid era it was accused of playing the same role for the National Party government.[4]
