SABC apologises after falsely linking Ghana to Ebola outbreak
South Africa's public broadcaster, SABC News, has issued a public apology after incorrectly reporting that Ghana had recorded thousands of Ebola infections and hundreds of deaths, a claim the Ministry of Health had earlier dismissed as false.
The broadcaster further clarified that information provided by Ghana's Ministry of Health confirmed that the country had not recorded any case of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD).
The correction came after the broadcaster aired an inaccurate news ticker stating that Ghana had registered 2,300 Ebola cases and 930 deaths, prompting an immediate rebuttal from Ghanaian health authorities.
