Former SABC chief operating officer Chris Maroleng wants a whopping R16 million or his job back. Maroleng, who was fired less than a year after succeeding Hlaudi Motsoeneng, is now in a tug-of-war with the public broadcaster over his dismissal
Former SABC chief operating officer Chris Maroleng wants a whopping R16 million or his job back.He is challenging his sacking for misconduct in April last year.
He also casts a shadow on the process which led to his dismissal. He accuses the SABC of dropping the ball by not affording him the right to appeal an allegedly questionable disciplinary process. He refers to a supplementary affidavit by James Shikwambana, a former manager at SABC, as proof the CEO wanted him gone.
A few days before the disciplinary committee [DC], he wanted to know who the chairperson of the DC was.He further wanted to know when his contract was ending, and when I said July, he said ‘that’s too far’. After the call, he said: ‘Chair, we must build a case against this guy’, referring to the chief operating officer.“The conversation between the two went on and on and it made me very uncomfortable. My conclusion was that the former chief operating officer was a threat to him. When the newspapers reported that Maroleng was going through a DC, I was not surprised,” Shikwambana said.
