The SABC board could be out office in the next few weeks after Parliament decided to hold an inquiry against it and dissolve it.
The board was in Parliament on Wednesday where members of the portfolio committee on communications questioned its appointment of Hlaudi Motsoeneng into a different position.
This followed the decision of the Supreme Court of Appeal two weeks ago that his appointment was irrational and must be set aside.
Chairman of the committee Humphrey Maxegwana said it was clear form the board’s poor showing that it has to be dissolved.
Other members of the committee also found that the board had failed in its fiduciary duties.
It had allowed the SABC to disintegrate.
But two board members, Krish Naidoo and Vusumuzi Mavuso, dropped the bombshell at the meeting of the committee when they resigned from the board.
They distanced themselves from some of the questionable decisions taken by their colleagues.
Naidoo was the first one to break ranks two weeks ago when he questioned the decision to appoint Motsoeneng as head of corporate affairs after the SCA judgment.
He said this was criminal, illegal and unethical and would not be party to it.
Mavuso also questioned the presentation of the board to the committee.
The committee said the board was dysfunctional and there was no turning back.
The time for the SABC Board to go has come, said Maxegwana.
The board has been in the firing line for the last two weeks after Motsoeneng was appointed to the position of head of corporate affairs.
It was not spared by MPs either on Wednesday when they demanded answers on their fiduciary responsibility, and lack of corporate governance.
The board could be dissolved by Parliament after an inquiry in the next few weeks.
However, MPs were concerned the process may take longer, but felt it was necessary.
They said no matter how long it took the board has to go because it has failed in its duties.
