RDM reports that in a strongly worded statement, Cabinet has criticised the SA Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) over the Hlaudi Motsoeneng appointment matter.  

It called on the board to "abide by the letter and spirit of the SCA (Supreme Court of Appeal) ruling" which held that Motsoeneng was not fit to be hired as an executive at the corporation.  Minister in the Presidency Jeff Radebe described Motsoeneng’s appointment to a new senior position as "disrespect of the rule of law".  Cabinet has tasked communications minister Faith Muthambi to "urgently take steps to address this matter with the SABC Board".
