Johannesburg - Former SA Broadcasting Corporation COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng on Tuesday said lies were peddled about him while at the public broadcaster, even though he had disclosed that he never possessed a matric certificate.
"I declared from the onset that I did not have matric. I was recruited by Alwyn Kloppers in 1989, who was then head of news at SABC. I told him I do not have matric...he told me I was very talented. Before I joined SABC permanently in 1995, they took me to a training course in Johannesburg to learn about broadcasting. The SABC never takes freelancers to training...it never happens, I was the first person," he said.
"I travelled with Sophie Mokoena [now an SABC editor] to Pretoria at that time, and was unsuccessful in combining the symbols. I returned and informed Swanepoel. She then wrote 'outstanding' on my form next to where matric certificate was required. It is insulting from people who follow that narrative [that I lied]. The only person who can say I lied is my employer...the person who appointed me.
