SowetanLive reports that SA Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) radio station Thobela FM in Limpopo has been rocked by allegations of a jobs-for-sale scandal.
A voice recording, believed to be of feature producer and presenter Tlou Moabelo, in which she alleges that she was asked to pay executive producer Sello Mochichila R20,000 after her contract was not renewed, has surfaced. In the recording, which had gone viral on social media, Moabelo can be heard in what seems like a telephonic conversation with Conty Lebepe, an ardent listener of the radio station. "My contract was terminated before it lapsed while my colleagues renewed theirs, because I didn't pay,” Moabelo states. She claims in the recording that her executive producer Sello Mochichila told her to get a R20,000 loan on his behalf and wanted a deposit for a car for his wife. She continued: "In January last year, I then received a text message from Mochichila saying he's trying to renew my contract but human resources people are being difficult." Moabelo was not prepared to comment when asked about the voice recording.
