Dali Mpofu - an advocate who has represented several other SABC employees such as the SABC's suspended chief financial officer (CFO) Gugu Duda as well as the "indefinitely on long, special leave" head of news and current affairs Phil Molefe last year in legal and court proceedings - is also representing the injured miners who were involved in the Marikana Massacre in front of the Farlam Commission of Inquiry.
Dali Mpofu was mugged and stabbed on Thursday afternoon at Eastern Beach in East London by two attackers who took his personal belongings like his cellphone, according to the police.
Dali Mpofu was rushed to hospital with stab wounds in his upper and lower body and is currently in a serious but stable condition.
Dali Mpofu was axed as SABC CEO in January 2009; in August of that year after a drawn-out battle, the SABC agreed on a golden handshake of R11 million for him to walk away from the public broadcaster and to withdraw all legal action against the SABC.
