Hlaudi praised as the 'rose that grew from the concrete'
Johannesburg - The Hlaudi Motsoeneng show began at the Milpark Garden Court hotel at 11:00 on Wednesday with loyal supporters singing his praises.
Local musicians and artists took turns at the podium to defend him and berate SABC interim board member Krish Naidoo.
Naidoo was one of two board members who resigned in October 2016 during a Parliamentary portfolio committee meeting to discuss the public broadcaster. He was appointed to the interim board earlier this year.
During the former SABC COO's five-hour long press conference, his supporters showered him with tributes and called him the people's chief operating officer.
His supporters crammed themselves into the small press room to await the arrival of their "saviour". Sharply dressed in a tailored blue suit, he arrived to a chorus of tribute songs. According to one, he was a "rose that grew from the concrete".
