19 November 2015
The DA has written to the Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Communications, Joyce Moloi-Moropa requesting that the SABC’s board, and the Minister of Communications, Faith Muthambi be summoned to Parliament to provide reasons for the suspension of the SABC’s CEO.
This follows the announcement by the SABC yesterday of the suspension of its CEO, Frans Matlala, a mere four months after his appointment.
The Spokesperson of the SABC, Kaizer Kganyago is said to have told journalists that the SABC “does not have to account to the public” about why its CEO has been suspended.
