Management
Radio RSA, as part of the South African Broadcasting Corporation, was originally part of the Department of Information, which was established after the 1948 National Party victory. The Department of Information’s task was to promote the image of South Africa internationally and reduce criticism of apartheid. After the Muldergate scandal of the late 1970s, the functions of the Department of Information were split. The Department of Foreign Affairs took over control of Radio RSA. The annual budget was about 20 million rands.
In 1976, Radio RSA transmitted for 36 hours a week. Radio RSA broadcast in 12 languages in 1976 including English, French, Portuguese, and Afrikaans. In 1984, 11 languages were broadcast.

—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
“The management of fertility is one of the most important functions of adulthood.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“People have described me as a “management bishop” but I say to my critics, “Jesus was a management expert too.””
—George Carey (b. 1935)
