BusinessLive reports that axed SA Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) executive Hlaudi Motsoeneng will not receive a golden handshake, but will instead serve a month’s notice before permanently exiting the public broadcaster.  

His dismissal for holding a media conference at which he attacked the interim board and MPs was announced on Monday.  The chairperson of the SABC interim board, Khanyisile Kweyama, said on Tuesday that Motsoeneng had not been dismissed with immediate effect because the SABC wanted to finalise the separate disciplinary process around findings of the Public Protector.  The board has issued Motsoeneng with the relevant charges and has given him 10 days in which to respond.  But Kweyama added that it was "unlikely that process will be concluded".  Asked about whether Motsoeneng would be paid out for the remaining one year on his contract‚ Kweyama said they were under "no obligation to pay out a contract when the person is found guilty of misconduct".
