Hlaudi Motsoeneng to remain at SABC in new role
The SABC says its former COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng will stay on at the public broadcaster.
He will be the group executive for Corporate Affairs, a job he previously held at the SABC.
Last week, the Supreme Court of Appeal upheld a Western Cape High Court ruling that the permanent appointment of Motsoeneng as COO was irrational and invalid.

Motsoeneng has plans to return to the COO chair.
"As an individual, I accept the court ruling, I accept that the SABC should follow the proper process. I'm going to apply - like any citizen in this country - and one for sure, I believe in myself, I believe that everywhere I am I do miracles, and I'm going to do those miracles," he said.
Meanwhile, outgoing public protector Thuli Madonsela says she will be taking a closer look at Hlaudi Motsoeneng's new appointment.
She says she wrote a letter to Communications Minister Faith Muthambi, warning her that appointing Motsoeneng as Acting COO - would not only be a contravention of the Public Protector's report, but also the finding of the Court.
