Aguma resignation an 'admission of guilt' - SCOPA
19 July 2017
Cape Town - The standing committee on public accounts has labelled the sudden resignation of acting SABC chief executive officer James Aguma as an "admission of guilt".
SCOPA chairperson Themba Godi said the committee was "shocked" by Aguma's resignation on Wednesday, before his disciplinary proceedings concluded.
"SCOPA takes this as admission of guilt for the financial mess that the SABC finds itself in," Godi said in a statement on Wednesday.
"Mr Aguma might have avoided scrutiny on a litany of charges that he was facing – but as SCOPA we call on the SABC interim board to pursue its investigation to ascertain criminal liability on the part of all officials and managers at the SABC, including Mr Aguma."
