Ex-COO shields his successor, advises on way forward.
Former SABC chief operating officer and now president of the African Content Movement Hlaudi Motsoeneng says the SABC board may have erred in firing his successor Chris Maroleng.This, he said, was because none of the remaining two executives, CEO Madoda Mxakwe and CFO Yolande van Biljon, have broadcasting experience and don't have the know-how to take the SABC out of its current position.
The ACM president, who was also fired by the SABC two years ago for bringing the broadcaster into disrepute, said the decision may not have been well thought-out despite the transgressions committed by Maroleng. He said though he had nothing against the new board, they will find it difficult to steer the SABC ship out of the choppy waters because only one of them had a clear understanding of the institution.
