The Congress of South African Trade Unions says it is concerned that Communications Minister Solly Malatsi does not give a time frame on how long the South African Broadcasting Corporation Bill will remain withdrawn.Malatsi has notified National Assembly Speaker about the withdrawal of the bill.
Cosatu Parliamentary Coordinator, Matthew Parks says Malatsi’s reasons given for the withdrawal of the Bill are vague. “We are not sure what are his intentions. So, it’s fairly vague. We don’t know if he is going to retain the provisions in the Bill which says, it’s a public broadcaster. It’s got a developmental mandate. It’s free from interference by politicians of does he have something else in mind,” he adds.Civil society organisation, AfriForum has repeated its call saying the Bill failed to address the public broadcaster’s funding needs.
