*SABC Interim Board * *07 July 2009*
The Young Communist League of South Africa [uFasimba] supports the calls for the rejection of the SABC Interim Board. The Interim Board has no broader working class and civil society representation, thus liquidating and undermining the Broadcasting Act. We are disgusted that the Interim Board is constituted by elitist businessmen and women. This is precisely the reason which led to our calls for the out-gone Board to be dismissed since it was not only constituted in a factionalist manner, but full of business elites. We call on President Jacob Zuma to listen to our legitimate and principled concerns around the process of selection, representativity before approving the Interim Board. We further call for the reviewal of this Board and the process to be reverted back to parliament in the interests of having a truly representative Board. As the YCLSA we reiterate our unapologetic commitments towards building a people’s broadcaster. It is for this reason that we are expressing our utter disgust at the appointment of this Interim Board.
