National Assembly’s Portfolio Committee on communications will tomorrow meet the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) Board again. This time the board will be presenting the public board broadcaster’s strategic plan for 2009 to 2011.
The committee will also receive a detailed briefing from the SABC Chief Financial Officer Rob Nicholson on the financial position of the broadcaster. This is an outstanding issue from last week’s enquiry into whether the board was able to discharge its functions and responsibilities. The committee will now table its report on the inquiry to the National Assembly on Wednesday.
The inquiry followed a spate of resignations of board members and financial problems at the public broadcaster. Of the 12 member board, only one member has not resigned. The committee report recommends that the board be dissolved.
Details of the meeting are as follows:
