JOHANNESBURG - The South African Communist Party has rubbished claims by former SABC chair Ellen Tshabalala that it interfered in the public broadcaster's affairs.
In a statement, the SACP says she fabricated the allegation because she harbours a grudge against the party.
On Friday, Tshabalala told the ad hoc committee probing the fitness of the SABC board to hold office, that Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande should not have commented publically on the SABC's migration to digital television.
