FAIR COMMENT. The SABC needs to say how many millions it paid its idiotic and suspended group CEO Solly Mokoetle to just go away.


The South African public broadcaster, compulsoried financed by South African viewers and the government needs to say (and be forced to say) how many millions of rands it has agreed to pay it moronic, selfish, arrogant, self-delusional and utterly useless ex-group CEO Solly Mokoetle to just go away.

The SABC that's not a private company conveniently seems to forget that its paying the simple Solly with SABC licence payer money as well as government bail-out money which is South African tax payer money.

Solly Mokoetle spouting family values and fake sentiment about how he's leaving the SABC with love (bless!) is a fake sham. If he really meant that he wouldn't ask the cash-strapped SABC for a pay-out before he agreed to quit. He wouldn't have demanded through his lawyers that the pay-out be kept secret (since if he really was a good group CEO he would have known that the SABC is supposed to be transparent and that the SABC belong to the people). Only a conniving moron would demand money from a publicly institution and demand it be kept secret. Guess again simply Solly, journalists are gonna find out how much money you got away with. Its called accountability.

How much was Solly Mokoetle's settlement amount? The similarly paid-off-to-go-away Dali Mpofu got R14 million in his golden handshake as a massive payout from the broadcaster. If the super selfish Solly Mokoetle were paid the remainder of his unfilfilled contract based on his annual massive salary of R3 million, he would have gotten R12 million. That is while the SABC is deeply in the red, took government money and will be broke by September this year and go begging to government again for another bailout. Say it with me: RI-DI-CULOUS!
