TMG Digital/TimesLive reports that a Labour Court application brought by Hlaudi Motsoeneng was dismissed on Wednesday afternoon with him being ordered to pay the costs.
The former chief operating officer of the SA Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) had approached the court in an attempt to have a disciplinary hearing stopped and get the chairperson of the disciplinary committee‚ Nazeem Cassim‚ recused. Motsoeneng is charged with misconduct following a media conference he called last month in which he criticised the SABC's decision to scrap the 90% local music policy that he implemented. Motsoeneng was scheduled to appear before the disciplinary committee on Wednesday evening‚ but his attorney said Cassim had written to them and instead requested a meeting. Motsoeneng's team are due to file an affidavit stating Motsoeneng's defence by next Wednesday‚ and the matter is now expected to be argued on Friday next week .
