Hey, here's an idea. Lets run a public broadcaster for a change? Lets do our job? Maybe we should make a new soapie of the drama's of SABC management. Much more intrigue and suspense than isidingo.

Presidency has no record of resignation letter

The Presidency has noted media reports quoting a resignation letter from former SABC Board member, Ms Pippa Green, reportedly sent to President Zuma. The Presidency has no record of the letter.

Parliament dissolved the Board last week and has since sent recommendations for an interim Board. The recommendation is still being processed at the Ministry of Communications, before being passed to the President for finalisation.

The Presidency has no record of the letter.

Just as South Africa has no record of Good Governance by the ANC regime.

Sounds dangerous. I suspect many of our powers that be would prefer that as little as possible actual reporting happens...

Ms Pippa Green, reportedly sent to President Zuma. The Presidency has no record of the letter.

So the M&G manages to obtain a letter...but the presidency - the intended receiver - does not. Haha.

They might as well scrap the board - the board members have no chance of doing their job if the government keeps messing with it.

Its likely broken beyond repair anyway if board members see an Us-vs-Them:

none of our board members on the ANC side

Cope member of Parliament Juli Kilian says Luthuli House sent out instructions ordering specific SABC board members to submit their resignations during the course of the day.

This is what worries me .. didn't think we were that far into la-la land yet.

If you ask me then this is probably exactly what the ANC wanted. Get the honest people out so they can install their political toadies. How sad... I mean the last man standing is Motsoeneng. Who is not really qualified to run a grocery.
