The broadcaster started a disciplinary hearing at the end of the year against Solly Mokoetle who took office exactly a year ago. The relationship between the recalcitrant group CEO and the SABC board soured quickly towards the middle of last year when it became clear that Solly Mokoetle was following unilaterally made decisions from the SABC board chairperson dr Ben Ngubane. The acrimonious and fractured relationship lead to Solly Mokoetle's suspension and disciplinary action being instituted against him.
The SABC board themselves has now called an urgent press conference for 13:00 that will be taking place at the SABC's Auckland Park headquarters - less than an hour and a half before its to take place. At this highly unusual called for press conference, the broadcaster is going to make an announcement regarding Solly Mokoetle's future and his position at the SABC.
