CAPE TOWN - Interviews for new South African Broadcasting Corporation board members will continue on Wednesday morning as Members of Parliament rush to fill eight vacancies.

The non-payment of TV licences was one the biggest issues raised by candidates during interviews on Tuesday.

The SABC is owed over R20 billion in TV licences and has listed this as one of its biggest revenue challenges. Mzwakhe Mofokeng, one of the candidates, called for the cutting of the signal for those who fail to pay.Another candidate, Nkosana Mbokane, took a lighter stance, saying viewers should rather be encouraged to pay.The interviews will conclude on Thursday before MPs select their preferred candidates.

SABC is bloated and like the rest of other SOE, used by politicians and aspiring board members as their job creation platforms. Hundreds of independent & community TV & radio stations runs successfully without financial support. How do they get it right?

Did they pay their own? Proof please
