BDLive reports that the Broadcasting, Electronic, Media and Allied Workers Union’ (Bemawu) wants Hlaudi Motsoeneng’s bank account frozen by the SA Broadcasting Corporation (SABC).  

This should be until a thorough investigation into allegations that he received a huge bonus for negotiating a R570m contract with MultiChoice’s DStv in 2013 has been done, the union said on Monday.  Bemawu president Hannes du Buisson said if it was true that Motsoeneng received the R10m bonus, the broadcaster would have effectively made an illegal and unethical payment.  The union is also opposing attempts to redeploy Motsoeneng at the broadcaster.
