Gab Mampone was suspended on 26 February last year by the SABC. He was accused of misconduct during the period of May 2008 to December 2009 when he was acting group CEO of the SABC. After his suspension Gab Mampone then released a statement saying ''there's a huge injustice in my suspension and it must now be exposed''.
Then the SABC said ''his suspension is to enable the SABC board to investigate and give an accurate picture of the reasons why revenue has declined so markedly in the past three years'' and that ''our preliminary investigations... have revealed serious shortcomings in some divisions,'' and that Gab Mampone's suspension ''was critical to the investigation into the sales and marketing, revenue and governance of the SABC''.
Then in May last year Gab Mampone took the SABC to the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) for his alleged unfair suspension. Sources now say Gab Mampone has finally been dismissed from the SABC. The SABC didn't immediately respond to media enquiries about this.
UPDATED Saturday 9 April 09:00 - The SABC just confirmed to me that Gab Mampone has been dismissed by the broadcaster, simply saying in a statement to TV with Thinus, ''The SABC can confirm that following an internal investigation against Mr. Mampone, both parties have parted ways.''
