Hlaudi Motsoeneng sacked from the SABC
Hlaudi Motsoeneng has been fired from the South African Broadcasting Commission.
SABC interim board chairperson, Khanyisile Kweyama, says a recommendation was made to dismiss Motsoeneng following a disciplinary hearing over a press conference he called in April while on suspension.
"The SABC charged Mr Motsoeneng with misconduct and also breaking the rules of his employment contract. The chairperson of that disciplinary hearing has given us feedback this morning and he has recommended - which the board has accepted - that Mr Motsoeneng be dismissed from the SABC. The SABC interim board has accepted those recommendations and we have communicated with Mr Motsoeneng his dismissal from the SABC," she said.
The interim board also says some of the controversial policy decisions taken while Motsoeneng was COO will be rescinded.
