The ANC seems to have abandoned its partisan approach to appointing board members to the SABC.
This week, ANC MPs discarded names of well-known candidates who are associated with the governing party and whom it had proposed in the initial short-listing process.
These included former head of SABC news Snuki Zikalala, former president of the ANC Youth League Ronald Lamola, former SAA board member Yakhe Kwinana and Nogolide Nojozi, a former South African envoy in Toronto.
