The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) urgently needs to fill “all vacant positions at executive senior management level” in order to “execute its mandate to inform‚ educate and entertain”. That’s the South African National Civic Organisation’s (Sanco) suggestion to ensure “stability” at the state broadcaster following the resignation of its acting group chief executive officer‚ Jimi Matthews‚ on Monday."The resignation calls for the SABC board to go back to the drawing board and strategise so as how it is going to minimise instability and the possible knock-on effect of the resignation‚" said Sanco spokesperson Jabu Mahlangu.He added said “that it is important for the public to be assured that the content value the public receives in the run-up to the August 3 local government elections will not be affected”.Mahlangu noted that “Matthews was held in high esteem within and outside the SABC for his professionalism‚ experience and in-depth knowledge of the communication industry”.“His resignation is an obvious loss.”Unlike other parties which had used Matthews’ resignation to reiterate calls for the resignation of Hlaudi Motsoeneng‚ Sanco’s statement on Tuesday didn’t mention the controversial chief operating officer.Neither did it mention the three senior SABC journalists who were suspended for raising their opposition to a directive not to cover the Right2Know (R2K) campaign’s protest against censorship at the public broadcaster earlier this month.SABC staff write letter of complaint to Hlaudi MotsoenengR2K and others picketed outside SABC offices in Johannesburg‚ Cape Town and Durban over Motsoeneng’s directive that footage showing violent protest action will not be aired by the SABC...
