SABC CEO appointment: Matlala must stand up to Motsoeneng
2 July 2015
The DA tentatively welcomes the appointment of a new Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at the SABC announced yesterday.
It comes exactly one year and one week after Minister Muthambi promised that a new CEO would be appointed within three months. We hope it is a case of better late than never.
There is certainly cause for cautious optimism with this appointment.
Firstly, the new CEO is not SABC Chief Operations Officer (COO), Hlaudi Motsoeneng. This, in itself, is a positive development.
