StateCaptureInquiry | 'We enjoy curry there, big time chairperson, together.'

"They promptly told me they would have liked to play a role in SABC's DTT future because they were interested in creating a news channel and they would hope I would allow them to get access to a channel … I saw it as a lobbying of sorts for them to be afforded an opportunity on SABC platforms at that time."

"We enjoy curry there, big time chairperson, together. I was acting as the GCEO [group chief operations officer]. It was part of the handover. I said to her, 'look, compliance informed me there is this relationship between The New Age and SABC, but we as SABC are not complying because there is no memorandum of understanding on this matter. These people , they talked to me to say they would be happy if we can meet your new GCEO'," he told the commission.

"They proposed like any business people. They said because you are going to migrate, we wish we can have channels in the SABC bouquet. "What [Mokhobo] was saying was not correct. When she was dealing with the issue it seemed like I went into her office, held her and said let's go ... She knew where we were going.
