Khanyi Mkonza - Former Board Chair Open Letter (Times)

Posted by FactFinder
To accuse the outgoing board of bringing the curtain down on the SABC shows lack of insight. People find it convenient to fault my board without looking at all the things we did to lift the lid on a lot of rot and to expose the rampant looting of resources by several people.
SABC employees and organised labour played a significant role in this exposure. Had the parliamentary committee on communications played its oversight role properly, it would have been alert to the fact that we averted a deficit budget last year.
While we argue, the SABC continues to lose its status as one of the leading and possibly the only true public broadcaster on the continent.
In the midst of major political upheaval against my board, we exposed a lot of wrongdoing at the SABC.
I consider members of the outgoing board to be very courageous leaders, as no one without courage could have stood against the pressure that we faced in the last 18 months.
