The South African National Editors’ Forum (Sanef) has urged President Cyril Ramaphosa to urgently finalise the appointment of the new new South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) board, Eyewitness News reports. This comes after media industry watchdog the Media Monitoring Africa (MMA) sought intervention from the Constitutional Court to compel Ramaphosa to take more immediate action. In a statement, Sanef voiced its agreement on MMA’s opinion that, without a board in place, the national broadcaster would “slide perilously close to insolvency”.
