But the MDDA's last clean audit was in 2020/21 and the board chair, flagged by the Nugent Commission, is still in office
Hlengani Mathebula, who resigned from SARS after being implicated by the Nugent commission, is still the MDDA's board chair. "I would consider myself as someone who has grown up in the community media sector and I have always wanted to see growth in the sector," Qhu told GroundUp. Conflict between the former CEO Zuki Potye, and MDDA board chairperson Prof Hlengani Mathebula has cast a shadow over the MDDA's operations. Potye was suspended in April 2021 and accused Mathebula ofto President Cyril Ramaphosa in February 2023, calling for Mathebula's suspension. Mathebula had taken up the position at the MDDA after being suspended and later resigning from SARS after being implicated by the Nugent Commission of Inquiry into SARS.
Qhu says that coming into the MDDA, she was aware of its challenges and says she has accepted the task of"rebuilding the relationships" with private-sector partners and"building trust in the brand".
