 Peter Endero takes a break after Ramaphosa death blunder. Johannesburg, veteran SABC broadcast journalist Peter Endero will be taking a break from his job after he mistakenly declared on national TV that President Cyril Ramaphosa had died instead of Zimbabwe's MDC leader Morgan Spangire. His error follows another blunder in January, when he announced that IFP leader Mangusuthu Bothalisi had died instead of former Bobutaswana leader Lukas Mignon Mangopay. In a statement, SABC spokesperson Kaiser Kaganjago said, while the public broadcaster acknowledged that it was human nature, we take the matter in a very serious light, as it is not only embarrassing, but could potentially affect those involved negatively. The SABC had spoken to Endero, who indicated that he was fatigued and needed rest. Management has agreed to his request and he will be taking a break from the show. Endero has apologized to the president and his apology has been accepted, Kaganjago said. Spangire, 65, founded the opposition party, the MDC in 1999, and was well known as one of Zimbabwean ex-president Robert Mugabe's critics. Spangire died on Wednesday.
