Presidency says announcement about new SABC board is imminent: The presidency has conceded there have been “slight administrative and logistical” delays in the finalisation of the SABC board, but says the process is almost complete.
“I cannot give the exact timeline, save to say an announcement is imminent and the process is being finalised,” presidency spokesperson Vincent Magwenya said on Thursday.
“We regard the inconvenience to the public broadcaster and that there is a great deal of urgency to ensure we sustain the stability achieved around the broadcaster.” Addressing the media at the Union Buildings in Pretoria, Magwenya said: “There is an appreciation of the urgency of finalising the process. There was a slight administration and logistical delay towards the end of last year.”
In December, SowetanLIVE's sister publication TimesLIVE reported parliament had finally approved the names of 12 candidates to be appointed to the new board. The names where unanimously supported by all the parties in the National Assembly.
