DON'T get excited now and do something silly, like order up a bunch of fizzy drinks, but we have come up with a plan that may just save the SABC and turn it into something that vaguely resembles a national broadcaster.
Why bother, I hear you ask? Well, it is true that we really don't care what happens to it, but we've grown rather bored with the tiresome headlines about the boardroom farces and drama at Auckland Park and, rather than whine and moan and bitch about it like everybody else, the Mahogany Ridge regulars have decided that a positive approach was needed. All in the country's best interests. Obviously.
First thing, Jacob Zuma must accept the resignations of chairman Ben Ngubane, and his deputy, Thami ka Plaatjie. In an apparent bid to force the president to overrule the board, both handed in their notice when the board kicked out acting chief operating officer and ANC toady, Hlaudi Motsoeneng.
No such thing must happen. All three must go. They have no interest in broadcasting. They're politicians and, as such, wish to cause us great harm rather than serve up cracking good movies on Sunday nights.
We now need to deal with the rest of the board. The following non-executive members, we've decided, must also pack up and leave.
Former Inkatha Freedom Party MP Suzanne Vos. There are fears she may still be politically active and therefore "unclean". Best then not to take chances.
