I have more reaction from the South African television industry on Solly Mokoetle's resignation, and just spoke with Feizel Mamdoo, co-chair of the South African Screen Federation (Sasfed):
''As Sasfed we are deeply concerned about the high turn-over of leadership at the SABC,'' says Feizel Mamdoo in reaction to the departing group CEO of the SABC. ''A high turn-over in executives have been a factor in the instability the industry has seen at the SABC. It's only possible for a meaningful turn-around at the South African public broadcaster to take place if this is looked at.''
''We're looking for leadership that is committed to the values of public broadcasting and somebody who can translate that into effective management processes and assistance at the SABC. The person [who replaces Solly Mokoetle] must have committment and a clear vision for public broadcasting in South Africa,'' says Feizel Mamdoo.
