MABC TV appeals against NBB revoking licence

Lobatse High Court Judge Lakhvinder Walia has reserved judgment in a case between the controversial Munhumutape Pay TV (MABC TV) and the National Broadcasting Board (NBB).

Munhumutape is challenging a decision by NBB to revoke its broadcasting licence.  NBB revoked the company's broadcasting licence in January this year because it had failed to commence broadcasting on numerous occasions.  NBB has in the past extended the company's deadline to start broadcasting.  But the proposed pay television station has failed to go on air.

In their grounds of appeal to the High Court, the lawyers for Munhumutape, Moses Kadye Attorneys, claim that their clients were denied the opportunity to fully present their case.  The lawyers claim that during the NBB hearing, the board decided to limit Munhumutape's delegation to four members only.
