The Presidency says it has accepted the Supreme Court of Appeal’s judgment on Hlaudi Motsoeneng’s position at the South African Broadcasting Corporation.

The court dismissed Motsoeneng’s application for leave to appeal at a High Court ruling regarding his permanent appointment as chief operating officer being set aside.

Motsoeneng got the job at the SABC despite questionable findings by the Public Protector, including that he misrepresented his qualifications and awarded staff and himself irregular salary increases on several occasions.

The presidency’s Bongani Ngqulunga says that The Presidency just wants to make it clear that it accepts and respects the decision of the court.
