, and the Congress of the People says the absence of an incoming Board to take the reins at the SABC presents a crisis for South Africa’s public broadcaster.

Spokesperson for COPE, Dennis Bloem, states that the delay is not just unacceptable but it is also a disgrace that the SSA’s vetting system was not sufficiently functional to be able to vet the 34 candidates who were interviewed for the now vacant SABC Board positions. The spokesperson goes on further to add that the ruling party’s only concern at the moment is its upcoming national conference in December, and says COPE suspects that politics are playing a major role in the ongoing delays to appoint a new board at the public broadcaster.
