Khusela Diko slams Malatsi's SABC bill withdrawal as 'trigger-happy' and 'ill-advised' The bill, which was tabled by Malatsi's predecessor, Mondli Gungubele, sought to address funding issues and governance reforms at the public broadcaster. Malatsi, however, argued that the bill fell short in addressing the SABC’s financial model and gave too much power to the minister in appointing board members. Diko, however, warned that the withdrawal could severely disrupt necessary reforms and further jeopardize the future of the SABC.
