SABC to broadcast Springboks' clash against All Blacks
The South African Broadcasting Corporation and SuperSport have reached an agreement to jointly broadcast the clash between the Springboks and the All Blacks.
The world champions will take on New Zealand in a Rugby Championship game at Ellis Park in Johannesburg on Saturday.
Kick-off time is at 17:00.
The parties, including SA Rugby, addressed the media in Sandton on Friday.
Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie said SuperSport TV has offered to share the broadcast in the spirit of 30 years of democracy.
"I would also like to publicly acknowledge the generosity of SuperSport in their willingness to come together with the public broadcaster to ensure that this once-in-a-lifetime historic game is available on SABC," he said.
"This once-off gesture by SuperSport to South Africans is in line with their ongoing commitment.
"We are immensely pleased that all South Africans will be able to have the opportunity to witness this historic occasion.”
The public broadcaster has been unable to broadcast the rugby matches due to financial struggles.
