Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Representatives of Primedia Broadcasting were asked to leave the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) hearings into racism in advertising on Thursday because they could not answer questions stemming from the EFF\u2019s testimony into the matter.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, the EFF\u2019s Mbuyiseni Ndozi\u2019s testified that Premedia Outdoor Advertising was part of an “all-white boy’s club” that made it hard for black-owned companies to make money in the billboard advertising space.<\/p>\n

Ndlozi also testified that 60% of all the radio ad-spend is allocated to Primedia’s 702, 94.7, and KFM, plus Kagiso Media’s Jacaranda FM and East Coast Radio. He said 94.7 billed three times more than KayaFM. This is despite KayaFM having a bigger audience.<\/p>\n

On Thursday morning, Primedia\u2019s head of legal Tholoana Ncheke and chief financial officer Tezne Saunders took to the stand at the Inquiry into Racial Discrimination or Discrimination in Advertising. However, it was only for a short time.<\/p>\n

SAHRC says financial constraints are hampering its work<\/p>\n

After giving a short opening statement on the company, the two were asked about its ownership.<\/p>\n

When the SAHRC\u2019s Buang Jones asked who owned the company, Ncheke and Saunders said they did not have that information.<\/p>\n

Asked whether it was black or white-owned, Ncheke said “…we would have to first check the shareholding percentage, we would not be able to say that factually whether it is a black-owned or white company”.<\/p>\n

Jones said he was asking for the information following Ndlozi\u2019s testimony.<\/p>\n

He said:<\/p>\n

Ncheke said it would be hard for them to answer the questions as they had prepared for their testimony based on the inquiry’s terms of reference.<\/p>\n

“Our preparation was informed by the terms of reference that we have received. It would be helpful for us to have the terms of reference as the point of engagement and any additional information we would provide in a supplementary written submission,” she said.<\/p>\n

After a short adjournment, Jones said he could not continue with Ncheke and Saunders. He insisted that they be excused from the stand and that the company CEO be called to come testify at a later stage.<\/p>\n

Ncheke and Saunders did not object.<\/p>\n

The inquiry was adjourned until noon, when the Commission of Gender Equality representatives are expected to take the stand.<\/p>\n
