SABC group CEO Madoda Mxakwe is leaving his position at the end of June, making him the first person to complete a full five-year contract at the helm of the troubled broadcaster in 15 years. | News24_Business

The broadcaster was without a board for six months before President Cyril Ramaphosa finally appointed a new one in April.

The president was criticised for delaying in appointing the board and faced a scathing legal opinion from Parliament on his second-guessing of a list approved by the National Assembly. He also faced possible court action by Media Monitoring Africa, who wanted the Constitutional Court to force him to make the appointments.

Ramaphosa said in his announcement of the appointments that the SABC is"a vital institution of our constitutional democracy". "I trust the newly appointed board members will work hard at ensuring that South Africa continues to benefit from a stable, independent and effective national public broadcaster."
