DA submits PAIA and parliamentary questions regarding SABC top management salaries
Note to Editors: Please find attached a soundbite in English by DA Shadow Minister of Communications, Phumzile Van Damme MP.
The DA will not let the matter of the SABC’s top management’s alleged reduced salaries rest.
The public has a right to know, and fight for that right to know we shall.
We have today submitted a Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) application to the SABC requesting the full salary packages of the public broadcaster’s GCEO, COO and CFO.
PAIA aims to to promote transparency, accountability and effective governance of all public bodies, like the SABC. The grounds for refusal of information in the Act do not apply to the SABC in this instance. We trust that the public broadcaster’s management will reveal the requested information in the spirit of promotion of transparency, accountability and effective governance at the SABC, as they often proclaim to be adherents of.
