New disciplinary committee to scrutinise Motsoeneng
13 December 2016
Cape Town - A new court-ordered disciplinary committee needs to clear Hlaudi Motsoeneng's name and a Public Protector's report needs to be overturned on review for him to lawfully work at the SABC.
The new disciplinary committee will be chaired by a person ordered by the court, based on names submitted by the DA, the Public Protector and the SABC; and the parties have to agree to the candidate, the Western Cape High Court ruled on Monday.
The DA had applied to have Motsoeneng's latest appointment as group executive of corporate affairs declared invalid after Bessie Tugwana was moved to his old position as chief operations officer (COO) to make way for him after that appointment was declared invalid.
A timeline of two weeks has been set aside for the parties to agree on a chairperson to head the new disciplinary committee and the court will issue a supplementary order to give force to that decision.
