You're reading it here first. The Save our SABC Coalition (SOS) just gave their reaction on the new SABC board.''The SOS overall welcomes the final SABC board shortlist. This time round the process included significantly more public participation and was more transparent than previous Board selection processes."
''Ultimately, we believe, this has led to a board that combines skills, competencies and experience appropriate to the governance of an important public institution and is fairly representation of different social interests in our society.''
''Going forward we hope that this public nomination and selection process will ensure that the board feels more accountable to the general public than previous boards. This promises to be a starting point for a new era in genuine public service broadcasting.''
