Former SABC CEO Lulama Mokhobo on Wednesday told the Zondo commission how Hlaudi Motsoeneng boasted about his proximity to former president Jacob Zuma to bully executives and the board at the public broadcaster.
Mokhobo said the professional relationship with Motsoeneng soured from the onset when she joined the institution.
Mokhobo created a scenario of how much SABC would have made last year had it gone the DDT route instead of continuing with its channels being hosted on DStv. “He [Motsoeneng] had told me many times how he was close to the president [Zuma] and how he had stayed at the president's house until 2am.
