'I experienced sexual harassment, racism first-hand': Ex-SABC worker’s job ordeal

AN EX-SABC employee who resigned in 2007 alleging sexual harassment by her boss wants her job back if she does not win compensation for her ordeal. The former occupational health officer at Radio Park testified before an SABC Sexual Harassment Inquiry which presented its findings and recommendations to the board on October 31 last year.

The commission, chaired by Barbara Watson, was established in June last year together with another which focused on political and management interference in news decisions. “I experienced sexual harassment and racism first-hand. I just want the SABC to compensate me for what I went through,” said the distraught former employee, who added she would like her job back if unsuccessful.

A year later, the public broadcaster has not honoured recommendations made by the commission which completed and presented its work to the board in October 2018.
