On Thursday, the public broadcaster revealed it would issue final notices to some of its workers next week.
The public broadcaster initially projected some 600 redundancies but managed to cut it down to 303 following rigorous consultations.
Bemawu’s president Hannes du Buisson expressed mixed feelings about the finalisation of the section 189 process.
“The SABC for a long time has been saying that the number has been reduced to 400 and it seems there is now another reduction of about 100 people. We believe that reduction came about as part of the fact that the SABC done what we asked them to do right from the beginning that is to engage staff members on the shop floor level.
