Hlaudi Motsoeneng used to crow about his friendship with Zuma and was the main cause for not moving to digital terrestrial television
Former SABC operations chief Hlaudi Motsoeneng boasted about his proximity to former president Jacob Zuma as he bullied executives and the board at the public broadcaster, former SABC CEO Lulama Mokhobo told the Zondo commission on Wednesday.
Mokhobo said the professional relationship with Motsoeneng soured from the onset when she joined the institution. Mokhobo created a scenario of how much the SABC would have made last year had it gone the DDT route instead of continuing with its channels being hosted on DStv. “There were people who reported to other important people in powerful places and they would throw their weight around and impose their will,” said Mokhobo. “[Motsoeneng] had told me many times how he was close to [Zuma] and how he had stayed at the president’s house until 2am. Then there would be ministers coming into the SABC to meet Mr Motsoeneng and not me, which was strange as I was the head of the company.
