As decided in the Portfolio Committee on Communications meetings of 13 and 20 October 2010, the Committee was scheduled to meet the SABC Board on 10 November 2010 and the Department of Communications on 23 November 2010 to receive presentations as per committee recommendations.
The recommendations include the tabling of a turn around strategy by the SABC Board.
On 5 November 2010 the committee received a formal request from the Department of Communications, Acting Director-General Dr Wesso, requesting a rescheduling of both meetings to a later date determined by the committee.
The committee has during its meeting on 9 November 2010 considered the request, and being cognisant of the urgency of resolving the issues plaguing the SABC as well as the points of concern raised by the Committee regarding the department during the 13 October 2010 meeting, unanimously decided to afford this postponement until such time as the committee is able to find a suitable date to hold the meetings.
