ARTICLE: PRESIDENT MUST APPOINT PERMANENT BOARD
It has been almost a month since Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Communications concluded its interview process for the appointment of individuals to serve on the permanent Board of the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC). The President has yet to appoint the 12 recommended individuals. This is a cause for concern, considering that the official term of the interim Board expired on Tuesday, 26 September. This failure to appoint has left an institution looking to make its way out of the woods, without a captain to steer the ship.
