“The SABC went through some challenging times during the tenure of the previous COO‚ Hlaudi Motsoeneng‚ and former CFO‚ James Aguma. Their combined lack of strong and ethical leadership saw the SABC lose not only its standing as a trusted public broadcaster‚ but also saw unprecedented financial losses as well as the loss of skilled staff.”
The organisation said it would continue supporting the SABC on its road to recovery and “as it establishes itself as a true broadcaster of the people of South Africa”.
New appointments at SABC an encouraging sign: Outa
The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) has welcomed the appointment of SABC’s new group chief executive Madoda Mxakwe and new chief financial officer Yolande van Biljon.
“It is encouraging to see the experience that the two executives bring to the table. These are appointments by the board‚ without the minister’s involvement‚ which is a welcome move towards increased independence in the state broadcaster from political influence. The appointment of well-qualified professionals with experience in large organisations is an encouraging sign for SABC’s future‚” said Dominique Msibi‚ Outa’s portfolio manager for special projects.
