YOUNG COMMUNIST LEAGUE OF SOUTH AFRICA PRESS STATEMENT, 22 NOVEMBER 2006
=YCL CALLS FOR THE IMMEDIATE RESIGNATION OF SABC CHIEF, ADV. DALI MPOFU=

The Young Communist League (YCL) calls for the immediate resignation of the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) Chief, Adv. Dali Mpofu, for abusing the public’s money through cheap transactional publicity.

It appears that the SABC Chief can abuse the public purse any how including self promotion without proper accountability parameters in place.

The erroneous usage of R130 000 in the //Leadership magazine// is a reflection of poor decision making from the public broadcaster and deprives TV licences holders of quality programmes that are in line with our developmental agenda.

Our country cannot afford to allow the SABC Chief to use our TV licences money and the subsidy from the state to fulfill his selfish egos and personal ambitions.

We further call on public servants and those entrusted with leading public institutions to desist from any form of consumerism and crass materialism that is crippling our leaders and the values that we seek to inculcate in our society. Our leaders must be guided by our democratic state’s injunction of Batho Pele.
