Motsoeneng shot up the ranks at the broadcaster, from being a producer at Lesedi FM in the Free State to being the SABC's chief operations officer within a year.
Ngubane told the commission Motsoeneng was identified as a"troubleshooter" who kept Lesedi FM profitable while other stations were turning losses. "[Motsoeneng] was seen as a troubleshooter and he was very proactive with all the issues that came up. Ultimately, he was elevated to the executive committee and that’s when he came to prominence. [Motsoeneng] was assigned to be the board’s communications and stakeholder relations manager on behalf of the board, and that is how he got to ultimately become an acting COO," Ngubane said.He said Motsoeneng had people skills,- “and that’s what we needed at that time”.
"This happened when we had difficulty with communications. The board decided we needed a person who would do board communications. Board decisions were not being reported correctly to staff. That’s how we created this position of a communications person for the board. "He could give input to board meetings but he could not be part of the decision-making. Whoever is going to be communicating for us must know precisely what we are talking about. That’s how he came to be invited at board meetings," Ngubane said.
