---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Moloto Mothapo <[email protected]> Date: 2009/9/17 Subject: [Ancmedia] SELECTION OF CANDIDATES FOR THE NEW SABC BOARD To: [email protected]
SELECTION OF CANDIDATES FOR THE NEW SABC BOARD The Office of the ANC Chief Whip welcomes the finalisation of the list of candidates for the SABC’s new Board of Directors by Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Communications. The finalisation of the list is a culmination of a transparent, open and inclusive selection process with a view to find suitably qualified and capable individuals to provide the much needed leadership to the public broadcaster. It is also serves as a culmination of a swift process of returning the SABC back to its normal and efficient operational state, following a catalogue of financial and leadership challenges at the institution. We are satisfied that the selected team is representative of the broader South African demography and posses a wide array of skills necessary to transform the institution. The Office of the Chief Whip notes and respects the views of some opposition parties with regard to some candidates in the list. We accept that it is impossible that the composition in its entirety will enjoy the acceptance of all political parties. We wish to urge all parties to rise above petty politicking and unite behind the new board in the interest of the SABC and the nation. The Portfolio Committee must be commended for demonstrating the necessary seriousness in dealing with the grave challenges facing the SABC. The list of candidates for the new Board will be tabled formally before the sitting of the National Assembly in October. Should the House endorse the candidates, Parliament will then recommend the new Board to President Jacob Zuma for consideration and appointment. The names of selected candidates and their area of focus are: 1. David Clephane Niddrie – Media and Journalism 2. Barbara Mosima Masekela – Corporate Governance 3. Nkomatane Clifford Motsepe – Legal/Management/Youth 4. Magatho Anthony Mello – Engineering/Management 5. Cedric Sabelo Gina – Labour/Corporate Governance 6.
