Interim Board for SABC Nearly Finalised



South Africa's Parliament yesterday approved four names out of the five submitted by the ANC to be part of the SABC's interim Board, following the dissolution of the Board appointed by former President Thabo Mbeki last week.


According to the The Times newspaper, the four who made the cut are Irene Charnley, the new Interim Chairperson, Phil Mtimkhulu who will be the Interim Deputy Chairperson, Lesley Sedibe, and Libby Lloyd. The IFP managed to get their candidate former IFP MP Suzanne Vos into the list for interim Board.

The interim Board will be in place for six months, before a permanent 12 member Board is selected. All that is left now is for President Jacob Zuma to put his Jonny Hancock on paper endorsing the proposed interim Board.

I wish them all the best in their work to assist the organisation and am sure they will have the support of staff and management as the SABC is an important national institution that needs to be safeguarded.
