The committee will interview the 14 who have been shortlisted out of 84 applications after Felleng Sekha, Barbara Masekela, Makgatho Mello and David Niddrie all resigned last year during bitter and acrimonious in-fighting between the SABC board and the SABC board chairperson dr Ben Ngubane and his unilateral and dictatorial management style. Once the committee decides on the 4 new chandidates out of the 14, their names will be submitted to the National Assembly for president Jacob Zuma to approve.
Here's the 14 shortlisted candidates for the 4 vacant SABC board member positions, who will be interviewed for 3 days next week and probably become full SABC board members from the 2nd quarter of 2011:
John Danana (business man)
Peter Drunchen (national director at the Deaf Federation of South Africa)
Kenneth Herold (broadcasting consultant)
Xoliswa Kula-Ameyaw (business support manager at the state owned electricity distributor Eskom)
