Four SABC Board Members Resign
The Save Our SABC (SOS) Coalition has warned that Parliament may battle to attract quality applicants for the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) board if the oversight functions of the parliamentary portfolio committee on communications and the communications ministry are not strengthened to ensure the board is given more support.
SOS spokesperson, Kate Skinner, points out that, “Government needs to get to the bottom of why these four resigned and what the underlying problem is at the SABC.”
Skinner is of the view that if deep structural problems are not dealt with, the SABC could be in a situation where more board members resign and new board members also resigning at a later date.
Her comments follow the confirmation by the Department of Communications that President Jacob Zuma has accepted the resignation letters of four SABC board members.
