Business Day reports that Kopano ke Matla Investment Company, the investment arm of the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu), plans to pull its 20% stake in satellite pay-TV operator On Digital Media (ODM) if it persists in launching three porn channels on its TopTV platform.
The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) has announced that it will rule on TopTV’s application to launch the channels at the end of this month. TopTV had planned to go ahead without ICASA’s permission but last week’s granting by a high court of an ICASA interdict against the broadcaster prevented this.
