Speaker, hon Deputy President and hon members, the interim board should, in conjunction with the Department of Communications, hold a conference of all stakeholders to once and for all find broad consensus on what sort of public broadcaster we require. They must also ensure that, during their tenure, the inquiries into the allegations of corruption, fraud and mismanagement are not impeded or interfered with in any way by current SABC executives. In this regard, we would urge them specifically to look for cases of gross misconduct already identified in previous inquiries, and consider whether those implicated executives shouldn't rather be suspended, to prevent any attempt to derail the inquiry.
Lastly, they need to resolve the contentious issue that keeps undermining the public broadcaster. Already there is a dispute about the credentials of the interim board. I thank you. [Applause.]
