It's not just TopTV's CEO Vino Govender who's gone and who has been with immediate effect been replaced by Eddie Mbalo (exactly as I said would happen) as the new interim TopTV CEO - the South African pay TV operator's chief financial officer (CFO) Michelle Meth is also gone, having left last month after she resigned. TopTV never announced it.
And then - completely unrelated - there's the deaths.
I'm told by TopTV staff - and it's not something the company will ever comment on - but TopTV has been rocked by several deaths in just the past few months.
TopTV workers at the Woodmead Office Park headquarters of TopTV are whispering to me about the sad deaths of colleagues which all took place in a very short period of time. ''Very tragic,'' said one; ''weird, sad and strange'' said another.
Six TopTV employees died recently - five of ''natural causes'' as they say and one person in a car accident.
