BREAKING. SABC ends Solly Mokoetle's disciplinary hearing since he's ''no more an employee of the SABC''.


You're reading it here first.

''Solly Mokoetle is no more an employee of the SABC,'' the SABC tells me after I just asked about what now about the acrimonious disciplinary proceedings and postponed disciplinary hearing costing the broadcaster hundreds of thousands of rands that was started at the end of last year against the embattled former group CEO of the SABC.

''There has been a settlement. Solly Mokoetle is no more an employee of the SABC. Therefore the SABC cannot continue to discipline him,'' I'm told. The SABC confirmed to me that Robin Nicholson will remain the acting group CEO in the place of Solly Mokoetle.
