The Chairperson of the Ad Hoc Committee on SABC Board Inquiry, Mr Vincent Smith, has expressed his dismay that a working document intended to facilitate discussions when the Committee commences deliberations on 19 and 20 January has found its way into the public domain.

“The working document was prepared as a foundation upon which a constructive meeting of the Committee and deliberations will commence, and it was drafted for that purpose only. It has no standing as an official document of the Committee until deliberations are exhausted, possibly by Friday,” said Mr Smith.
