The Citizen reports that Haludi Motsoeneng, former chief operating officer at the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), will finally be subjected to a disciplinary process at the public broadcaster, starting on Wednesday.
According to a City Press report, the interim board briefed Parliament last week and listed a slew of shocking financial problems and irregularities at the broadcaster. Among them was the fact that the SABC has “164 people working in its TV licence department” despite the fact that it also outsources this function to a company that has allegedly not even been performing it satisfactorily. That contract and others are to be terminated and referred by the interim board for forensic investigation. The interim board is also reviewing the editorial policies put in place by Motsoeneng, and which have been highly criticised from both SABC staff and external commentators. Interim board chairperson Khanyisile Kweyama was quoted as saying that there had been a “collapse in corporate governance at the SABC”.
