SABC News press corps covering the president furious that they've been sidelined, also complain about the leadership style of the alleged 'Hlaudi enforcer' Sophie Mokoena.

The SABC press corps that used to cover the South African president are reportedly furious that they've been sidelined by the South African public broadcaster that is now making use of an international wire service.

They're also angry over the abrasive management style of the caustic Sophie Mokoena.

In 2017 Sophie Mokoena was identified during parliament's inquiry into the SABC as one of the alleged so-called "Hlaudi Motsoeneng enforcers" at the broadcaster.

The Sunday Times first reported that SABC News reporters Mzwandile Mbeje, Ntebo Mokobo and Tshepo Ikaneng are angry that they've been sidelined from covering president Cyril Ramaphosa in favour of the SABC using the Foreign Service Network.

In a meeting they also complained to Phathiswa Magopeni, the SABC's head of news and current affairs, Nothando Maseko, the head of SABC TV news, and to Sebolo Ditlhakanye, the head of SABC radio news, about the leadership style of Sophie Mokoena.

Sophie Mokoena who is the SABC's foreign editor has apparently also resigned as the SABC's acting political editor.

The SABC declined to comment when asked for a response.

Sophie Mokoena told The Sunday Times "I am tired of you South African men, in particular you South African journalists, for mistreating and conniving against me since 1994 because I'm the first female to be in that political field and to this day you men are fighting me".

SABC makes yet another Cyril Ramaphosa blunder, as SABC News presidential correspondent Mzwandile Mbeje calls him 'president Zuma'.

The SABC's spate of on-air news errors regarding president Cyril Ramaphosa continues with the SABC News journalist Mzwandile Mbeje who on Friday referred to Cyril Ramaphosa's during his trip to Angola as former president "Jacob Zuma".

The SABC News anchor Peter Ndoro just returned this past Monday after "taking a break to rest" after erroneously telling SABC News viewers on the SABC airwaves that president Cyril Ramaphosa had passed away.

This week Cyril Ramaphosa was on a 3-nation trop in the SADC region and kicked it off in Luanda, Angola on Friday where he met the Angolan president João Lourenço.

"We can see president Zuma, and his counterpart from Angola ..." said Mzwandile Mbeje., although viewers saw Cyril Ramaphosa.

Mzwandile Mbeje is the SABC's presidential correspondent.

Last month the SABC's SABC News division yet again erred in the Venda news bulletin on SABC2 when the Venda news reader suddenly made reference to "Jacob Ramaphosa" during a story about former president Jacob Zuma and Nkandla.
