Former CEO Jimi Matthews blamed for wrongful dismissal of SABC 8
Johannesburg – Former SABC acting group CEO Jimi Matthews has been fingered as the man responsible to personally incur the legal costs for the wrongful dismissal of the SABC 8.
This was argued by former acting COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng’s legal representative Advocate Thabani Masuku on Wednesday at the Johannesburg Labour Court.
Motsoeneng appeared in the Labour Court to explain why he should not be held personally liable for the wrongful dismissal of the SABC 8.
Judge David Gush said that he would deliver his judgment on Friday.
Masuku told the court that it was SABC's former head of news Simon Tebele who had signed off on the termination of the SABC 8 on the instruction of Matthews.
