This comes as the process of appointing a new board has been stalled due to the State Security Agency’s delay in vetting the 34 candidates who have been interviewed for the vacancies.
‘And then again, National Assembly may only make a resolution after due inquiry and upon a finding that the board has failed to carry out its duties to adhere to the SABC Charter and to control the assets of the SABC which again is something that did not occur in this particular instance.”Earlier, the lobby group said Parliament’s Communications Committee should take full responsibility for the delay in appointing a new SABC Board.
This comes as the outgoing board has a day left before its term of office comes to an end on Saturday.SOS says it raised concerns when there was already a delay by the committee to kick-start the public consultation process for a new board. Thirty-four candidates have already been interviewed. The communications Sub-Committees could not deliberate on the candidates to choose the 12 most suitable ones, due to the delay in the vetting process by the State Security Agency .
Siyotula says, “The Committee is to blame in this particular instance because they knew five years ago that the current board will be leaving office on the 15 of October but they waited until the last minute to commence all processes pertaining to the appointment of the SABC Board.
