The only place for Motsoeneng now is jail - Maimane
12 December 2016
Cape Town - The only place left for former SABC COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng is jail, said DA leader Mmusi Maimane after the party won its application to have his appointment as group executive of corporate affairs declared unlawful.
"I'm delighted and I think justice has been served today," said Maimane after the Western Cape High Court in Cape Town said Motsoeneng could not hold any position at the broadcaster unless a Public Protector's 2014 report on his appointment as COO is overturned and a new disciplinary inquiry clears him.
"I think Hlaudi Motsoeneng should not be working at the SABC," said Maimane after shaking hands with advocate Anton Katz SC who led the Democratic Alliance's attack on Motsoeneng's appointment.
The court set aside the findings of a disciplinary committee that acquitted Motsoeneng on allegations emanating from the Public Protector's report.
