National Assembly adopts report into governance crisis at SABC
The National Assembly has formally adopted the report by Parliament’s ad hoc committee that probed governance failings at the SABC. While all nonexecutive SABC board members resigned in 2016, the ad hoc committee report, which was finalised in February, formally recommends the dissolution of the board, including executive directors. Communications Minister Faith Muthambi, who has been blamed for the crisis at the public broadcaster, was not in Parliament on Tuesday as MPs debated the report. Opening the debate in the National Assembly, Vincent Smith, who chaired the ad hoc committee, said the board and the executive directors had failed to execute their fiduciary responsibilities.
