The National Assembly has endorsed the four new nominees for the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) board amid protest from opposition parties who accuse the African National Congress (ANC) of politicising the process.

The four are: Safcol senior executive Sethe Makesha; businessman John Danana; advocate and business consultant Cawekazi Mahlati; and Media Development and Diversity Agency CEO, Lumko Mtimde.

Congress of the People says the four new board members were handpicked to please ANC leaders, while the Freedom Front Plus accused the ruling party of trying to tighten control over the broadcaster ahead of the May local government elections.
