Moshoeshoe Monare will exit as SABC News boss at the end of this month after two and a half years of heading up the South African public broadcaster's news and current affairs division.

It's not clear who is replacing him or will be acting SABC News boss until a new permanent appointment.

Moshoeshoe Monare was appointed in June 2022.

"His dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment to journalistic excellence have set a high standard for us all. Under his leadership, our newsroom has consistently delivered ground-breaking stories that have informed, educated and inspired our audiences."

"The SABC acknowledges Moshoeshoe Monare's invaluable contributions and extends its gratitude for his dedicated service. We wish him success in all his future endeavours."
