Former SABC chief operating officer Hlaudi Motsoeneng has finally broken his silence about the crisis at the SABC after a stand-off between management and workers over job cuts. TheStar_news

The SABC has been embroiled in a dispute with the workers demanding that management and the board halt job cuts. The SABC said it wanted to retrench 400 staff in order to save costs.

“When Ramaphosa came in, people became determined to remove me. They didn’t care about saving jobs, saving local content and making sure the artistic industry was sustainable. They wanted to deal with me because they say I was taking orders from Zuma. But look what is happening now? It’s bad,” he said.

“My crime was transformation. There are evergreen contracts at the SABC. There are permanent contracts with white production companies. In my first month there I called for an audit into those things so we could change them. The production companies which also produce content for some newsrooms came against me.”“There was political pressure to remove me and put in this new group. These people don’t know anything about broadcasting. Some of these board members don’t know what an OB van is.
