SABC must reject Tshabalala's R 1 million claim for legal fees
21 December 2014
It is reported today that disgraced former SABC Chairperson, Ellen Tshabalala, has sent a letter to the SABC Board demanding that the public broadcaster settles her R 1 million legal bill.
The DA calls on the SABC to reject Tshabalala's claim for R 1 million in legal fees with the contempt it deserves.
Tshabalala told the Sunday World newspaper: "The bill is over R 1 million and I paid it from my pocket. I want my money back and I know I will get it."
Nobody owes Tshabalala anything. Tshabalala's decision to take the parliamentary inquiry to court was hers and hers alone. And, when Tshabalala lied about her qualifications in 2013 she did so in her personal capacity, as an applicant to the SABC Board.
