SABC3 has released an apology after last night's 'Survivor: China' finale, where the final Tribal Council was skipped and the show proceeded straight to the reunion segment.

"Due to last night?s scheduling glitch, SABC3 management would like to express its sincere apologies to our valued viewers for the unintended exclusion in the broadcasting of the last fifteen minutes of Survivor China," said a statement released on Wednesday afternoon.

"The Survivor China episodes have always been scheduled as seven segments and last night?s episode (because it was a special broadcast) came in as eight segments, the individual who scheduled this unintentionally omitted the last segment. Internal procedures are being followed in addressing this matter," said Mathe Mosito-Okaba, SABC3 General Manager.

SABC3 will rebroadcast the rectified version on Sunday September 6th, from 14h00 to 16h30.
