The Citizen reports that fired SA Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) chief operating officer Hlaudi Motsoeneng was paid R1.7 million by the public broadcaster while he was on suspension since January this year.
This was revealed on Monday in a written reply by Communications Minister Ayanda Dlodlo in response to a parliamentary question. “The former acting operations officer had been suspended in accordance with the SABC policy from 1 January 2017. The policy also makes provision for payment of suspended employees. An amount of R1,713,865.24 has been paid,” Dlodlo indicated. Last Monday, Motsoeneng was dismissed from his job after an internal disciplinary hearing found him guilty of misconduct. Motsoeneng plans to challenge his axing from the SABC in court.
