The absolutely awful @AthleticsSA_ @ComradesRace 2026 on the @SABCPortal SABC's @SABC_2, produced and broadcast by production company T+W, was utter TV Trash. Yet again, Nobody will be held accountable for the embarrassing, botched live broadcast mess on South African television.

How on earth can there be no effects mics out on the course, you cannot hear any of the vibe out on the course!! @ComradesRace This coverage has been beyond poor!! #comrades #comradesmarathon2026 @AthleticsSA_
Rowyn James retweeted
Advertising is out of control, man. I’ve seen more of Desmond Dube than the Comrades leader. Does this strategy work?
Rowyn James retweeted
@MajubaMagwaza Not SABC’s fault. The feed was provided by T&W, who was contracted by Comrades
Rowyn James retweeted
The broadcasting of @ComradesRace has been so disappointing. The camera angles and live switching have been atrocious, the storytelling below par, two audio feeds playing at the same time and the commentary panel is just a Bruce Fordyce memoir with cliches.

Rowyn James retweeted
This Comrades coverage is some of the worst of all time.
Rowyn James retweeted
Come on SABC Sport. This is getting ridiculous now. Why aren't you showing the Men's chasing pack? All the previous winners are there but no screen time. Just adverts and social runners and more social runners and interviews with social runners. #SABCSportAthletics #Comrades2026
Rowyn James retweeted
Comrades feed is atrocious. Completely missed showing the battle for second. Winner came in and within a few minutes the new chap who took second came in. No video of the change. Live feed at the line is horrendous. Great run by Mbuti Mollo who came in 3rd 🇿🇦 ..2nd SAn home
Rowyn James retweeted
If the goal of the Comrades Marathon organisers is to ruin the race and chase sponsors away, their live feed and coverage is doing just that. Absolute garbage. 🗑 🚮 Next year is the 100th anniversary if they pull this again, it will be a travesty.
Rowyn James retweeted
The terrible broadcasting denied us a great race 😩😩😩. #Comrades26
Rowyn James retweeted
The winner of the Comrades Marathon, George couldn't even be interviewed the sound is so bad. This is an absolute disgrace. Whoever got awarded the contract for the feed has embarrassed the entire country. Absolutely unacceptable.
Rowyn James retweeted
Dear @SABC_Sport ... Next comrades, shoot it yourself tu. Like the old days. T+W can give their feed to someone else. Siyayibonga. #ComradesMarathon
Rowyn James retweeted
Poor SABC is catching smoke for this floppy coverage of #comradesMarathon2026 . Whoever got this gig did us dirty. We missed all the action from the contender bus. Would have also been great to watch how George Kuche built up this smashing win of the @ComradesRace
Rowyn James retweeted
The production manager of the #Comrades26 needs to run the whole route without road support. This is bad broadcasting across all levels. Feels like we are being punished for loving and following the race.
Rowyn James retweeted
@CindyPoluta @SuperSportTV It’s a really bad production, apart from the quality of the feed. The producers just keep moving and cutting up and down without reason at all
Rowyn James retweeted
@CindyPoluta @SuperSportTV The broadcast is terrible. Hardly any coverage of the leading runners. Not telling the story of the race at all
Rowyn James retweeted
@CindyPoluta @SuperSportTV Would really like to know if @ComradesRace or @SABC_Sport or @SABCSportsLive received money payback to take this away from @SuperSportTV because this coverage is embarrassing rubbish & really poor. See the finish but so far away u can't see the faces of the finishers. What a joke
@METROFMSA @haroonabramjee @AndileNcube Eeeer, slight correction there please - Soweto marathon was 4 and a half months ago - not 6 months ago.
