SABC places ad for new CEO in newspapers
3 October 2016
Johannesburg – The SABC has placed newspaper adverts for a new CEO, making a U-turn just five months after the public broadcaster declared it would no longer advertise SABC jobs externally.
The advertisement for the executive position appeared in newspapers on Sunday.
The SABC is looking to replace Frans Matlala, who was recently dismissed with a golden handshake worth millions of rands following his abrupt suspension in November 2015 after just four months in the job.
Matlala was allegedly axed because he helped National Treasury with an investigation into controversial SABC executive Hlaudi Motsoeneng's procurement of a multi-million rand studio that was constructed without having been put out to tender.
