News24 reports that former SA Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng's disciplinary hearing following his media conference on 19 April is set for next Wednesday.
Chairperson of the interim SABC board, Khanyisile Kweyama, told the national assembly’s portfolio committee on communications on Wednesday that a hearing on the matter would have taken place last week, but was postponed at the request of Motsoeneng's attorneys due to his "ill health". This process will run parallel to the disciplinary process relating to the Public Protector's string of findings against him, which follows the Western Cape High Court's dismissal of Motsoeneng's request for leave to appeal in February. The court ruled in December that he could not go to work in any capacity at the SABC, pending the findings of a new disciplinary inquiry or a court review of parts of former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela’s report on his conduct, which was released in February 2014.
