SABC Board | Stalement over SABC board

JOHANNESBURG - Parliament's Communications Committee is meeting again on Thursday to try and resolve the matter of the delayed appointment of an SABC board.  

There have been clashes about whether any names should be removed from those submitted to President Cyril Ramaphosa.

This includes that of SABC's former head of news, Phathiswa Magopeni.
