Hlaudi Motsoeneng to remain at SABC
Johannesburg - Former SABC chief operating officer (COO) Hlaudi Motsoeneng will remain an employee at the public broadcaster, SABC board chairperson Professor Mbulaheni Maguvhe said on Tuesday.
"Mr Motsoeneng is still an employee. He would be going back to the position he held which is GE corporate affairs, and that is his previous position."
Maguvhe said there was a perception in the media and among politicians that the SABC did not respect the courts and the Public Protector's office.
"Today is the day I want to put the record straight: That record is that there is a perception being created by opposition parties and media that SABC doesn't respect our legal institutions. We respect our legal institutions. Among them the PP's [Public Protector's] office and the courts."
Maguvhe said the SABC followed recommendations from Public Protector Thuli Madonsela but the Democratic Alliance was dissatisfied with the outcome because it had its own agenda.
