Zuma promotes Muthambi in defiance of Parliament
28 March 2017
President Jacob Zuma’s announcement that he has promoted Faith Muthambi to the position of co-Chair of the Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) on Communication is in defiance of Parliament.
Last month, political parties in the National Assembly, including the ANC, adopted the hard-hitting report of the Ad Hoc Committee on the SABC inquiry.
The report found that Muthambi had “displayed incompetence” in carrying out her responsibilities as Shareholder Representative at the SABC and that the President should “seriously reconsider” the desirability of her retaining the Communications portfolio.
