The SABC spokesperson, Neo Momodu, distanced the SABC from this criminal activity. She said, “The SABC has noted with concern a WhatsApp message doing the rounds warning members of the public, particularly in the Weltevreden Park area west of Johannesburg, of would-be robbers posing as SABC TV Licence agents”.
“The SABC wishes to inform the public that it has not appointed inspectors or officials for purposes of physical inspections of household television sets,” she confirmed, urging that “any person that claims to be an SABC official or agent in order to gain access to a house or premises must be reported to the police as they do not represent the SABC”.
