Madam Chair ... [Interjections.] ... I will follow the same process. We received a request after the resignation of Mr Peter Harris from the SA Broadcasting Corporation, SABC, Board, that we must fill the vacancy accordingly. We have dealt with all the processes which we were supposed to follow as a committee. For the first time in the history of the committee, all parties agreed with the name which needed to be recommended to the SABC.
The committee recommends to the President that Mr Thami Ka Plaatjie be appointed to the vacant position on the SABC board, to serve for the remainder of the term. Thank you very much. [Applause.]
There was no debate.
Question put: That the recommendation for the appointment of Mr T K Plaatjie to the South African Broadcasting Corporation board be approved.
Question agreed to.
Mr T K Plaatjie accordingly recommended for appointment to the South African Broadcasting Corporation Board (Congress of the People dissenting).
