SABC institutes legal proceedings against Motsoeneng, Aguma
1 August 2017
Cape Town – The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) has instituted legal proceedings to recover money from its former executives Hlaudi Motsoeneng and James Aguma.
Chairperson of the SABC interim board Khanyisile Kweyama updated the portfolio committee on communications on Tuesday morning on the work they have done in implementing the recommendations of the ad hoc committee that investigated the SABC board, which the National Assembly adopted in March.
Kweyama told the committee that they have also decided to withdraw the court application to review former public protector Advocate Thuli Madonsela's report on the SABC, which had damning findings against Motsoeneng.
She said the board has sought a legal opinion on the liability of board members, group executives and officials who "knowingly participate in the making of decisions or accede to decisions being made which are contrary to the policies of the corporation, principles of corporate governance" and in breach of legislation.
