National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula says legal advice from Parliament states that it was enough for the Communications Portfolio Committee to only submit the 12 recommended names of persons to serve on the SABC Board.

Mapisa-Nqakula revealed this at the National Assembly Programme Committee after Economic Freedom Fighters MP Hlengiwe Mkhaliphi sought clarity on why President Cyril Ramaphosa is delaying the appointment of the Board.

Mapisa Nqakula says, “Actually it turns out that Parliament should not have given itself the discretion to provide the President with an extra pool of names. So as a result of that, that matter is now with the Chairperson of the Committee and the Committee for them to provide the Speaker with guidance.

Majodina says the delay in appointing the SABC Board has put Parliament under the spotlight as if it has not done its work.
