SABC head of news Phathiswa Magopeni, who has been appearing before a disciplinary inquiry chaired by Nazeer Cassim SC.SABC news head Phathiswa Magopeni’s testimony at a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday put the public broadcaster’s legal guru, advocate Ntuthuzelo Vanara, in the spotlight.
Magopeni said this was because there was no instruction to remove it and that she believed such an instruction would only have come from Vanara.editor Busisiwe Ntuli, who was grilled on Monday, was the first to lay the blame at Vanara’s door.
According to Bill, Magopeni was the one with the jurisdiction to issue an instruction that the banned show be removed from the system. “Miss Ntuli was saying that no instruction was received from legal for the episode to be deleted. I do not think that is criticism [against Vanara],” said Magopeni.Magopeni retorted: “I think it is a comment; I do not think it is criticism.”
According to Cassim, Vanara’s involvement in the issue after the episode was aired was “commendable”, if anything.
