SABC board revolts

NEWSWATCH: Only a few months ago with the appointment of a new SABC board, South Africans thought - and hoped - that there would be an end in sight for the broadcaster's troubles and that it would begin to be managed properly. Faint hope... the new board is apparently up in arms with its chairman, Ben Ngubane, after a new head of news, Phil Molefe, was appointed allegedly without the proper procedures being followed, reports Business Day; subsequently, the board rescinded Molefe's appointment on Saturday, reports Times Live.
