No Response!

Hereunder e-mail correspondence between BEMAWU and the Acting GCEO.

Remember he accused us of not following the right channels and taking matters outside the SABC instead of discussing it internally.

So the Acting GCEO never kept his promise and he never reverted back to us yesterday. (We removed the individuals name as she has merely handled the communication on behalf of the Acting GCEO)
