The SABC board passed a vote of no confidence in non-executive director Hope Zinde and removed her from the post on Thursday.<\/p>\n
“Today’s meeting managed to only deal with issues relating to one non-executive director, Ms Hope Zinde, in whom the board passed a vote of no confidence and resolved to remove her as a non-executive director with effect from [Thursday],” it said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The board met to discuss the conduct of some of its members.<\/p>\n
“The allegations levelled against them include… fraudulent conduct, raising matters of the board externally without a mandate and non-disclosure of conflict of interest.”<\/p>\n
In January, board member Prof Bongani Khumalo resigned, allegedly because Communications Minister Faith Muthambi had sent letters to the board members asking why they should not be suspended.<\/p>\n
His resignation came less than a month after SABC board chairwoman Ellen Tshabalala resigned, after she was unable to provide proof of her academic qualifications, as requested by a parliamentary committee.<\/p>\n
Last year, the public broadcaster’s CEO Lulama Mokhobo resigned, and chief financial officer Gugu Duda was fired for misconduct.<\/p>\n
