Parliament’s portfolio committee on communications voted for David Niddrie, Barbara Masekela, Clifford Motsepe, Magatho Mello, Cedric Gina, Ben Ngubane, Peter John Harris, Suzanne Vos, Pippa Green, Felleng Sekha, Clare O’Neil and Desmond Golding.
The African National Congress and opposition parties agreed on seven of the names.
