BREAKING. SABC legal and regulatory staff having a ''fun day''. Just because.

You're reading it here first.

In an already short work week, where do you think is the SABC's legal eagles and policy personnel?

Well, not at work, for one thing. They're having a ''fun'' day. For the whole day today. I got my hands on an internal SABC memo that was sent out this morning to all personnel at South Africa's public broadcaster.

''Dear First Citizens,'' the SABC empire told it slaves workers today, ''Please note that Legal Services, Policy and Regulatory Affairs department will be having a fun day and will therefore not be present at the office. First Citizens may, however, contact members of staff in the department on their cell phones.''
