News24 reports that SA Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) CEO James Aguma on Tuesday said at Parliament that media reports that his predecessor CEO Frans Matlala got a severance package of R18m were false.
Aguma was part of a delegation from the SABC that appeared before Parliament to report back on the problems at the public broadcaster. The media reports suggested that Matlala, who was suspended because he had allegedly helped national treasury with a procurement deal, received a golden handshake of R18m a day before he was due to appear for a disciplinary hearing. DA MP and party spokesperson on communication, Phumzile van Damme, insisted that Aguma should reveal the severance package Matlala received. But Aguma maintained that the information was confidential.
