A task team report on the state-owned satellite company Sentech had not explicitly recommended axing its chief executive officer and board, Communication Minister Siphiwe Nyanda said on Thursday.

"I don't think there is an explicit recommendation for dismissal," said Nyanda.

The report had found that Sentech was "rudderless, inadequately funded and misdirected" and was an unsustainable business.

The task team had recommended, among other things, that Sentech discontinue all loss-making products and ventures and that leadership and governance be strengthened.

Nyanda said he would look at the team's findings and recommendations with a view to making changes where necessary and feasible in the shortest possible time frame.
