📺 The SOS Coalition welcomes the new SABC board appointed by President Cyril Ramaphosa, but still has reservations about certain board members because of their 'baggage'. Read the story ⬇️

SOS Coalition national coordinator Uyanda Siyotula said the organisation stood by its objections against the appointments of Dinkwanyane Mohuba, Mpho Tsedu and deputy chair of the board, Nomvuyiso Batyi.SOS was particularly concerned about the conflict of interests that could arise if Tsedu and Batyi continued to sit on the board because of their current jobs.

She said Mahuba was not suited to serve on the board because he had allegedly asked two people to write his PhD dissertation for him at the University of Limpopo. Due to this, it needed strong leadership to restore its finances. Oversight and financial management were also strict requirements for SABC governance.
