SABC Board to Meet Communications Minister
The South Africa Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) board will not appear before the parliamentary portfolio committee on communications to present its turnaround strategy as planned because new communications minister, Roy Padayachie, first wants to meet them.
A senior SABC official says that Padayachie had requested a meeting with the board, which is why the meeting with the parliamentary committee was postponed.
The official states that, “It’s our understanding that the minister wants to first find out where the board is with regard to documents required by the committee and get some understanding of issues facing the board.”
