ANA reports that the Democratic Alliance (DA) said on Thursday that Hlaudi Motsoeneng’s salary at the SABC was increased by almost half a million rand, from R3.7 million to R4.1 million, during the 2015/16 financial year.  

This made him highest paid executive at the SABC and was over and above the almost R1 million increase Motsoeneng received during the 2014/15 financial year.  The DA is to request that an investigation into why and how Motsoeneng’s salary was increased be included in the anticipated parliamentary inquiry into the SABC.  During a results presentation on Thursday, a SABC spokesperson refused to comment about commissions and bonuses paid to Motsoeneng, saying he should not be singled out and adding that such questions would be answered during the presentation of the following year’s results.
