The Portfolio Committee on Arts and Culture will tomorrow (Friday 24 May) start the three-day interview process for candidates shortlisted to replace the axed Board of the Pan South African Languages Board.
The process follows a decision made in June last year (2012) by the Minister of Arts and Culture to terminate the previous board’s term of office following a governance review and functioning of the organisation as well as persistent problems at the languages body.
The Committee is of the view that a proper functioning board will assist the languages body to deliver on its mandate of promoting the use of all South African official languages. Therefore the Committee aims to get the best candidates to fulfil this important role.
