Information, Media and Broadcasting Services Minister Professor Jonathan Moyo has appointed an 11-member board chaired by telecoms entrepreneur and ICT expert Dennis Magaya to spearhead restructuring and turnaround of the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation.

Moyo dissolved the old board following revelations of fiduciary shortcomings that led to, among other issues, payment of mega packages to some executives and non-payment of salaries to ordinary staff for seven months in 2013.

Yesterday, Moyo said the new board members were appointed to ensure ZBC had the right skills mix to make it commercially viable and technologically sound.

Apart from chairman Magaya, other board members are: Ndabezinhle Dlodlo, Phyllis Johnson, Gelfand Kausiyo, Donald Khumalo, Joyce Jenje-Makwenda, Charity Manyeruke, Rudo Mudavanhu, Father Gibson Munyoro, Cleopatra Matanhire-Mutisi and Blessing Rugara.
