Muthambi Challenged Over SABC Powers

City Press reports that a court battle is set to rage over newly expanded powers that Communications Minister, Faith Muthambi, has gained over the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) board.

Civil action group, SOS Support Public Broadcasting coordinator, Sekoetlane Phamodi, points out that, “The changes are far-reaching and reduce the board's power significantly.”

The SOS: Support Public Broadcasting Coalition collective, along with other partners, have approached the High Court in Pretoria in a bid to have Muthambi's new powers declared unlawful and unconstitutional.
