SBC DOES IT AGAIN!
Although Ibrahim Afif, the Managing Director of SBC, has more or less admitted before the ongoing Public Enquiry that SBC is not entirely above board in its reporting, the only broadcasting media, which is state controlled, continues to behave in an extraordinary manner. In its 8 O’clock news item on Tuesday the 3rd April, SBC chose to broadcast the constitutional crisis which is currently taking place in the Ukraine totally in English with no Creole voice over whatsoever.
Ukraine, you may realize, is undergoing a constitutional crisis on a massive scale and startling similarities can be drawn from our present predicament and theirs. This is why perhaps Afif is reluctant to cover this news item in Creole given that many Ukranians have accused the government of mounting a political coup and are planning to take to the streets in mass protests. Lest some people here begins to get ideas, Afif unilaterally decided to play it safe and broadcast the news in English only.
