In a live sit-down interview with Morning Live's Leanne Manas, Lulama Mokhobo said her biggest priority ''is to create stability''. ''The question of the SABC's top level structure stability has been in the public debate for a long time.''
''The SABC board is moving fairly rapidly in filling some of the critical positions. I call it strange - not horrible - history and background we come out of, we've had our advertisers become sceptical with the SABC and in some instances just not wanting to participate in what we have to offer as the SABC.''
''One of my kep priorities is to have conversations with all the SABC's advertisers and assure them that we are really a stable company that's worth investing in.''
