The SABC union, the Broadcasting, Electronic, Media and Allied Workers Union (Bemawu) is demanding the resignation of dr Ben Ngubane, the SABC chairperson, calling dr Ben Ngubane a liar and the beleaguered chairperson's statements regarding Justice Ndaba ''the last straw''.

Last week dr Ben Ngubane told a shocked parliament that Justice Ndaba has not been permanently appointed by the SABC and was ''an outsider'' and a private consultant. The SABC trade union is enraged and says dr Ben Ngubane must resign.
''SABC staff records show that Justice Ndaba was appointed by an SABC board member in the corporation's turnaround planning unit (TPU) on a one-year fixed-term contract. This was done outside of the SABC's approved governance structures and recruitment processes. At the time, Solly Mokoetle (former group chief executive of the SABC) raised the same issue with the SABC board.''
'' Justice Ndaba was then reassigned by the chairperson of the SABC board to act as head of strategy as well as the head of human capital services – still as a permanent employee. Dr Ben Ngubane is acutely aware of this appointment,'' says Bemawu.
''It is misconduct in the extreme to lie to parliament – dismissible misconduct,'' says Bemawu.
