The SABC has lost yet another court bid to keep controversial executive Hlaudi Motsoeneng in its employ.

He was suspended in December 2016 when the Western Cape High Court ruled that his appointment was unlawful.

On Tuesday morning‚ the same court dismissed an appeal against that judgment.

'I will take any leadership position in government'‚ says Hlaudi MotsoenengFormer SABC boss Hlaudi Motsoeneng‚ forced out of his job by the courts‚ wants to “serve” the country and add “value”. 

The judgment stated the SABC board failed to uphold the constitution and ignored findings by the public protector that he had lied about his qualifications and awarded himself irregular salary hikes. – TMG Digital
