The suspended Solly Mokoetle has to answer on a range of charges by the SABC board, mostly about his failure to create, implement and drive a crucial turn-around strategy for the struggling South African public broadcaster.
Solly Mokoetle who has an extremely fracturous relationship with the SABC board and only acted upon orders by the SABC chairperson dr Ben Ngubane - for instance unilaterally appointing Phil Molefe as the SABC's head of news - was suspended by the SABC board in September after only nine months in office since his appointment in January. Robin Nicholson is currently the acting group CEO at the SABC.
