APO Group and South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) Join Forces to Bring Pan-African Sporting Content to South African Audiences for the First Time

APO Group, the leading Pan-African communications consultancy and press release distribution service, is delighted to announce a multi-year strategic partnership with the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), providing the public broadcaster with sports content from the whole of Africa.

SABC is South Africa’s national broadcaster and has been the home of quality sport in the country for many years. It broadcasts across 19 radio stations (AM/FM) and six television channels, and is one of South Africa’s largest state-owned enterprises. Now, APO Group is bringing sporting stories from the rest of the continent to South African audiences – much of it for the first time.

APO Group produces and distributes broadcast-quality content for some of the most prominent sporting organizations active in Africa, including FIFA, The NBA, The Basketball Africa League (BAL), World Rugby’s African association, Rugby Africa, Olympique de Marseille, and Africa’s first ever Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) World Tour team, Team Qhubeka.
