SABC board failed financially, legally, morally - MPs
Cape Town – The SABC’s board had a "shaky" moral compass and had failed to protect journalists from intimidation, MPs on Parliament's SABC inquiry ad hoc committee said on Friday.
MPs were given 10 minutes each to say what they wanted mentioned in the committee's official draft report.
ANC MP Hlomane Chauke said the multiple resignations of board members showed that the board did not exercise due care, and that its members lacked independence and good judgement.
As a result, a number of board decisions were not made in the best interests of the public broadcaster.
ANC MP Juli Kilian said the board had failed to monitor and enforce compliance with its charter.
