SABC BOARD CHAIRMAN - NOT FIT FOR ANYTHING

SABC's board chairman Mbulaheni Maguvhe had his day before the parliamentary inquiry into his fitness, including others,  to hold office.  

Listening to the man testify evoked a whole range of reactions from shock , anger to pity.  He was clearly out of his depth, lacking recollection, and when he did respond, was generally incoherent to the issues at hand.   Even committee ANC MPs were embarrassed, and joined the rest of the committee in expressing their disdain.  Their disdain does not, however, shelter ANC MPs from contributing to the destruction of the SABC in failing in their oversight role. 

Maguvhe's appearance unequivocally confirmed that his appointment to the SABC board was not based on merit, but rather political patronage, or cronyism.  He joins a long list of politically ignorant elite who enjoy the benefits of patronage, or cronyism,  not fit to hold office.
