Congress of the People has called on President Jacob Zuma to fire Communications Minister Faith Muthambi for removing three SABC board members.

Cope Spokesperson Dennis Bloem said that the decision she took to fire and involved herself in the firing of three board members is totally unacceptable.

Bloem added that Minister Muthambi does not understand what everyone have been pointing out that the SABC is not a state owned enterprise but a public broadcaster with a board that was not subjected to her.

A legal opinion faulting Communications Minister Faith Muthambi for allowing the unprocedural removal of SABC board members on Tuesday left MPs at odds over how to rein in the minister and reverse the process.
