Battle lines form over R120 million in extra taxpayer money for the SABC

• The DA rejects an ANC attack on Communications Minister Solly Malatsi as 'irresponsible' after he denied the SABC's application for R120 million in additional funding.
• The SABC requested extra funding to cover the 2026 Local Government Elections, but Malatsi rejected it due to public finance requirements not being met.
• The DA accuses the ANC of trying to undermine South Africa's public finance laws and 'loot taxpayers' through a stealth bailout.
