BDLive reports that ANC secretary-general Gwede Mantashe on Monday said the party’s national executive committee (NEC) had called on the SABC’s board to review the decision to appoint Hlaudi Motsoeneng.  The ANC NEC also agreed on the need for a Parliamentary inquiry into the SABC board’s fitness to hold office‚ he told a media briefing.  

Motsoeneng’s appointment as group executive of corporate affairs‚ when his previous appointment as chief operating officer was ruled invalid‚ has been highly controversial.  The annual report released by the public broadcaster late last week revealed that Motsoeneng had received a huge salary hike‚ taking his annual package from R3.8m to R4.2m in the past financial year.
