Hlaudi’s million-rand pay increase
23 September 2015
The SABC’s Annual Report tabled in Parliament today reveals that the salary of its Chief Operations Officer, Hlaudi Motsoeneng, increased from R 2 872 000 to R 3 784 000 in this financial year.
This R 912 000 pay rise included a bonus of R 279 000.
This near million-rand pay increase is incomprehensible given the ongoing crisis at the SABC. Even the ANC acknowledges in its NGC discussion document that the SABC is in a crisis due to poor management and a lack of accountability.
It is significant that in 2014 the Public Protector found Motsoeneng guilty of unlawfully increasing his own salary three times in the space of one year. It appears that he is at it again.
