With the SABC Board led by Kanyisiwe Mkonza, appointed by then President Thabo Mbeki, having been dissolved yesterday in Parliament, the fight is now in Parliament on who to choose to sit on the interim SABC Board until a permanent Board is found.
Political parties, according to today's Times newspaper have begun submitting names for potential members of the interim Board. The ANC according to the report have submitted these names as potential candiates:
- Lesley Sedibe (Specialises in Entertainment Law)
- Adv. William Rasenga
- Libby Lloyd ( A former Independent Communications of SA councillor and media consultant)
- Phillip Mtimkulu (Worked at the Sowetan newspaper as a Journalist)
- Irene Charnley (Used to be a trade unionist and is a former MTN director)
Parliament also agreed to have the Auditor-General investigate allegations of finacial mismanagement at the Corporation. The SABC's Chief People Officer (CPO) Ms. Phumelele Ntombela-Nzimande said that the SABC welcomed the decision to have an investigation into alleged wasteful expenditure.

Let's hope the state and parliament are coming up with quick and effective decisions to put an end to all this saga. We're really tired.
