During the second day of his testimony before the Zondo commission of inquiry into state capture, Motsoeneng confirmed evidence given by members of the so-called SABC 8.
During their testimony before the commission, Krige and Pillay alleged that the former COO warned that those who questioned management would lose their jobs. Motsoeneng confirmed that he had said this at the meeting, adding that he did not see anything wrong with telling the journalists to “adapt or find work elsewhere.’‘
On Wednesday, Motsoeneng distanced himself from the decision to suspend the journalists, saying this was up to Tebele. Motsoeneng said, rather than announcing a ban on this type of coverage, the statement was simply condemning violent protest action and calling on journalists to cover them “responsibly”.
