NEWSWATCH: Back at the SABC, and Ben Ngubane is girding his loins to take on the SABC board when he faces parliament, but also in the firing line is Solly Mokoetle, reports Mail & Guardian. Meanwhile, editor-in-chief of Independent Newspapers Cape, Chris Whitfield, told journalists yesterday at the Cape Town Press Club that business leaders must raise their voiced against the proposed Protection of Information Bill, reports IOL, which also reports that former intelligence minister Ronnie Kasrils has come out against the bill.

Mail & Guardian: Now SABC has to face the music... Being group chief executive means always having to say you're Solly... It seems the SABC is forever in the news - for all the wrong reasons. This time Board chair Ben Ngubane will be facing Parliament which, not unnaturally, would like to know exactly what the hell is going on, and Solly Mokoetle, the SABC group chief executive, who is said to have stormed out of a board meeting this week, is also in Parliament's sights.
IOL: 'Business leaders hold key to press freedom'... Given the perceived dodginess of some tendering processes, it makes sense for business leaders to make a stand for a free media that can report on, among other things, corruption in the awarding of tenders.
IOL: Kasrils: Info bill must be withdrawn... Well, that's probably not going to make him very popular with the ANC; after all, he wants SA's democracy to "be deepened, not gagged" and he also questions what he refers to as "an inexplicable desire to maintain apartheid-era secrecy".
