BREAKING. SABC's Solly Mokoetle tells shocked SABC news staff that Phil Molefe IS the new head of news.
You're reading it here first.
I can be first to spill that the SABC's group CEO Solly Mokoetle just told a flabbergasted and shocked SABC's news staff that Phil Molefe IS the SABC's news head of news and current affairs, irrespective of what the SABC board may say.
According to shocked insider SABC sources, Solly Mokoetle told them that Phil Molefe (who was ''appointed'' by him after he got his orders from dr. Ben Ngubane - only to have the ''appointment'' declared ''null and void'' by the SABC board) WILL be the one giving them orders, that Phil Molefe IS the new head of news at the SABC, and that nobody else will be allowed to question the appointment.
The SABC spokesperson, Kaizer Kgangayo tells me he knows nothing about the meeting that just took place or what Solly Mokoetle said.
I also just got word of an executive level resignation within the SABC's news department!!!!! More on this within minutes. Here we go again.
