Three SABC Board members resign
They are: former presidential spokesman Bheki Khumalo, Andile Mbeki and Desmond Golding.
“We are mindful of the enormity of the challenges that are currently facing the SABC, they said in a joint statement.
“We are of the firm view that it is in the public interest to resign.
“Accordingly, we have submitted our resignations to the office of the Minister of Communications earlier today (Thursday).”
Their resignations come days after the Board’s chairwoman Khanyisile Mkhonza resigned.
She was replaced by fellow board member Ashwin Trikamjee. Khumal, Mbeki and Golding said it was a privilege to have been chosen by the executive and parliament to serve as members of the board.
“Our resignation is with immediate effect subject to all the applicable legislative and administrative procedures being followed,” they said.
“We want to thank management, staff as well as all other stakeholders who have supported us during our stay on the Board.”
