Communications and Digital Technologies Minister Solly Malatsi has defended his decision to withdraw the SABC Funding Bill, saying all required processes of parliament were followed.

The bill suggests a delayed funding model, giving the minister time to develop a sustainable framework.

The Bill was withdrawn in November last year.

Malatsi has cited concerns that the current bill doesnt address the financial stability of the public broadcaster.

We follow every process of Parliament that is required to withdraw that Bill. There were some concerns particularly with the structure of the GNU as it is and I have engaged the Deputy President on the matter through the intervention that he sorted - the intervention is still currently before Cabinet.
