News24 reports that the state capture commission of inquiry was scheduled to hear testimony on Thursday from three former SA Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) employees, including two who were part of the infamous ‘SABC 8’.
The name was given to a group of eight journalists in 2016 when they spoke out against what they called "censorship" under the leadership of then chief operating officer Hlaudi Motsoeneng. The three scheduled to testify before commission chairperson, Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, were Krivani Pillay, Thandeka Gqubule-Mbeki and Mwaba Phiri. The commission heard evidence this week from key former and current top management staffers at the SABC. CEO Madoda Mxakwe told the commission that the public broadcaster had been subjected to a systematic collapse of governance and financial processes for many years. He also said he believed the only reason the SABC had been able to stay afloat was because of the dedication of its staff.
