Progress report of the Portfolio Committee on Arts and Culture on the appointment of the Pan South African Language Board (PanSALB) Board, dated 06 November 2018
 

The Portfolio Committee on Arts and Culture (Committee), having considered the request of the Minister of Arts and Culture to appoint new members of the PanSALB Board, reports as follows:

 

The Department of Arts and Culture advertised a call for nominations for the Board of PanSALB on the 1 October 2018 in its website and the closing date was on 21 October 2018. The Department put together an Adhoc Committee to receive nominations for the PanSALB Board and on the 24 October 2018 the Adhoc Committee met to compile the CVs it received and sent them to the Portfolio Committee on the 25 October 2018. The Committee received 69 nominees; however, one nominee, Dr A Grootboom withdrew and the Committee was left with 68 nominees to shortlist from.

 

The shortlisting was done in terms of sections 5 of the PanSALB Act as amended (No 10 of 1999), which states that there should be not fewer than 11 but not more than 15 persons who, when viewed collectively, are as representative as possible of the official languages as well as language skills, including but not limited to, interpreting, translation, terminology, and lexicography, language and literacy teaching and language planning.

 

The Committee met on the 6 November 2018 and shortlisted the following 25 candidates:
