News24 reports that, according to the Democratic Alliance (DA), SA Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) executive Hlaudi Motsoeneng has promised an extra R10,000 to each staff member as a "sweetener deal".
The party’s Phumzile van Damme said they were reliably informed that he had announced the payment to staff on Wednesday. She claimed that he said: "I have found a sweetener for you, Hlaudi has found an extra R10,000 for you." The alleged payment was apparently intended for all staff except middle, senior and top management. Totaling R32m, it would require board approval. "It is quite clear that this 'sweetener deal' is nothing but an attempt for Motsoeneng to get SABC staff on his side as a last ditch attempt to save his hide," said Van Damme.
