Cape Town - Parliament's communications portfolio committee has reaffirmed its position that the planned retrenchments at the public broadcaster, the SABC, were at this stage premature.
Committee Chairperson Boyce Maneli said on Thursday that it became clear to the committee during the presentations that the SABC management issued notices of retrenchment before conducting an open and transparent skills audit or consulting with relevant stakeholders. The stance taken by the committee followed a meeting where it was briefed on the SABC’s turnaround strategy by Communications and Digital Technologies Minister Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams and Deputy Minister Pinky Kekana as well as the SABC Board and management on May 25.It had also invited both parties to a meeting to receive further briefings on the retrenchments earlier this week.
This prompted the committee to instruct the SABC management to hold proper consultations before making another presentation on the planned retrenchments.
