President Jacob Zuma should consider firing Communications Minister Faith Muthambi for her role in the meltdown at the SABC, and the inspector-general of intelligence must investigate the broadcaster for setting spooks on its employees.These are some of the key recommendations in a hard-hitting draft of the final report by the parliamentary ad hoc committee that conducted an inquiry into mismanagement at the SABC. The report, which has been seen by the Sunday Times, says Muthambi "displayed incompetence in carrying out her responsibility as shareholder representative", including by appointing Hlaudi Motsoeneng as permanent chief operating officer after the public protector ruled against him.
