SABC board members hold outThe five remaining SABC board members appear to be intent on hanging on to the bitter end. The question is: Why? The board was apparently asked by the minister of communications, Siphiwe Nyanda, to do the honourable thing and resign, and if last week's resignations were anything to go by at least four members complied. It seems that thus far, however, the remaining five have been deaf to his call. In addition, there have been calls from many other quarters for the board to resign. Meanwhile, IOL reports that Ismail Vadi, the chairman of the portfolio committee on communications, said the board is now "wholly dysfunctional”. Hence, there are not only very clear messages from a number of sources to the effect that what's left of the SABC board is not wanted, and at least one message to the effect that what is left, cannot function anyway. There are times when one should stand one's ground, but there are other times when it's just as well to bow to the inevitable and step down. See SABC board members hang on; Mpofu has last laugh.
