Sanef says it's troubled by the 'endless delays' in the process, echoing sentiments made by Media Monitoring Africa that the SABC could “slide perilously close to insolvency” if the board is not speedily appointed.
JOHANNESBURG - The South African National Editors' Forum has called on President Ramaphosa to prioritise the appointment of a new SABC board, saying it shares in concerns that the public broadcaster is at risk of financial ruin.
After months of to-and-fro between the President and the Parliament over the list of recommended candidates put forward, and the lawfulness of the inclusion of a “reserve pool”, it’s now been agreed that these three additional candidates will be cut. In the papers, MMA says against the backdrop of its ailing financial health, the SABC could “slide perilously close to insolvency” without a board.
