The former Thobela FM executive producer was shown the door on Monday by the South African public broadcaster.
He was found guilty of receiving R2000 from a former current affairs producer and presenter Tlou Moabelo, who paid him the cash to get an extension of her contract at the public service broadcaster after her fixed term expired at the end of January 2018.
The SABC found Sam Mochichila guilty on two charges of gross dishonesty and a contravention of the SABC rules and regulations.
Vuyo Mthembu, SABC spokesperson, says "The SABC can confirm that Sam Mochichila is no longer within the employ of the SABC following a disciplinary hearing".
"This was a matter between the SABC and Sam Mochichila and therefore the SABC will not go into the details or comment further".
