TimesLIVE reports that, while former SA Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) chief operations officer (COO) Hlaudi Motsoeneng says the findings of a damning probe into editorial interference at the broadcaster are "nonsensical", the board says it is still trying to recoup millions from him.
Board chairperson Bongumusa Makhathini was quoted by the SABC on Tuesday as saying that the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) was helping the broadcaster to recover the money. "We're in court with Hlaudi Motsoeneng trying to recover R21m. We've been assisted also by the SIU," he said. The SIU revealed in parliament in 2018 that it was pursuing Motsoeneng for millions, which included a "success fee" for an archive deal by the broadcaster and damage related to the appointment and dismissal of staff. Makhathini described the findings of the commission of inquiry into editorial interference at the SABC as "very sad and very painful". Motsoeneng dismissed the findings, saying: "I am the first person at the SABC to make sure that all employees are treated fairly … You see, this is a journey of people tarnishing our name."
