ANC spokesman Jackson Mthembu laid into SABC COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng on Friday, saying the party was not happy about the expertise the SABC has at its highest level.
Mthembu said that it was this lack of expertise at top managerial level that has led the SABC from "one crisis to another".
Mthembu‚ who also chairs the ANC national executive committee’s subcommittee on communications‚ said the ruling party wanted people who were qualified for positions to lead the public broadcaster.
"We want people who are qualified to lead the SABC… We have said this so many times to all ministers that were appointed to this position of [minister of communications]. We have said to them ' You need to ensure that we have got people who know how to run an institution as big as the SABC at the highest level.
