Schmidt, Adv H to ask the Minister of Communications
How does she intend to assume a more proactive role in ensuring good corporate governance and compliance of the SA Broadcasting Corporation with all relevant policies and legislation in line with the recommendation of the Ad Hoc Committee on SABC Inquiry?
Reply:
The Interim Board has been directed to review the governance framework and the related policies, the effectiveness of controls and systems as well as the alignment of policies with the work of the SABC. The outcome thereof will inform the kind and extent of the interventions to implement the recommendations of the Ad Hoc Committee on the SABC Inquiry.
The appointment of a permanent Board with the requisite skills will also strengthen good corporate governance and compliance. The Board will be expected to report to the Minister on a quarterly basis on the progress thereof.
