The SABC will no longer televise the highly-anticipated Inbound two-match Test series that will see world champions the Springboks host Ireland.
The first Test between the worlds top-ranked Boks and second-placed Ireland takes place at Loftus Stadium in Pretoria on Saturday (5pm) while the second clash is scheduled for Saturday, July 13 in Durban.
A week ago, the public broadcaster announced it had reached a deal with pay-TV channel Supersport to televise the clashes on a delayed basis.
However, the SABC has since issued another statement saying the matches will now be only broadcast through its radio stations and not SABC2 as initially stated.
This decision follows the recent urgent litigation at the Competition Appeal Court over the broadcast rights to the Test matches which necessitated the SABC to review its decision to continue with the sub-licence agreement concluded with MultiChoice, reads a statement by the public broadcaster.
