They are: former presidential spokesman Bheki Khumalo, Andile Mbeki and Desmond Golding.<\/p>\n
“We are mindful of the enormity of the challenges that are currently facing the SABC, they said in a joint statement.<\/p>\n
“We are of the firm view that it is in the public interest to resign.<\/p>\n
“Accordingly, we have submitted our resignations to the office of the Minister of Communications earlier today (Thursday).”<\/p>\n
Their resignations come days after the Board’s chairwoman Khanyisile Mkhonza resigned.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
“Our resignation is with immediate effect subject to all the applicable legislative and administrative procedures being followed,” they said.<\/p>\n
“We want to thank management, staff as well as all other stakeholders who have supported us during our stay on the Board.”<\/p>\n
