Former SABC board member Krish Naidoo tells MPs of attempts to remove him
Former SABC board member Krish Naidoo has told a parliamentary committee about governance lapses at the broadcaster that allowed decisions to be made without input from the board. Parliament’s ad hoc committee conducting an inquiry into the SABC held its third day of hearings on Friday. Naidoo also told MPs of two attempts to remove him from the board. First Communications Minister Faith Muthambi summoned him to a meeting where he was accused of not attending meetings. "I told her representatives that I did not believe the information shared at meetings was correct. I asked her to remove me if she differed. "She called me later and apologised, and said she never contemplated removing me. However, she wrote to me asking to give cause to why I should not be removed," said Naidoo. This was the second attempt to remove him.
