A decision by the former SABC Board to pay its former Chief Operations Officer, Mr. Hlaudi Motsoeneng, a success fee amounting to over R11,5 million has been reviewed and set aside. The High Court of South Africa: Gauteng Local Division, Johannesburg on Wednesday, 15 December 2021, declared the 19 August 2016 decision by the then SABC Board unlawful and invalid.

The Court ordered Mr. Motsoeneng to repay the amount paid to him, as a success fee amounting to (R11,508,549.12) within 7 days of the order, with interest at the rate of 15,5% per annum calculated from 13 September 2016 to date of payment. In the event Mr. Motsoeneng fails to pay within 7 days, the SABC Pension Fund is ordered to pay the aforementioned amount to the SABC or all the pension proceeds where the pension proceeds do not amount to R11,508,549.12.

Furthermore, Mr. Motsoeneng was ordered by the High Court to pay the costs of the application together with the costs of two counsel.

The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) together with the SABC approached the High Court to review and set aside a decision by the former SABC Board to pay Mr. Motsoeneng a success fee and recover financial losses suffered by the SABC. The Court action was informed by the SIU investigation in the affairs of the SABC, which revealed that the SABC irregularly paid monies to individuals and entered into contracts to the detriment of the public broadcaster.

The SIU was, in terms of Proclamation R29 of 2017, directed by President Cyril Ramaphosa to investigate allegations of corruption, maladministration, malpractice and payments made by the SABC together with the conducts of its employees. Where required, the SIU was authorised to institute civil proceedings, refer evidence to National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) for prosecution in line with SIU Act 74 of 1996.

SIU Head, Advocate Andy Mothibi has welcomed the High Court judgement.

“This is a continuation of implementation of the SIU investigations outcomes and consequence management to recover monies lost by the SABC. There are other cases enrolled in the High Court and in the Special Tribunal awaiting adjudication and will result in further recoveries for the SABC,” Mothibi said.

The SABC’s Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr Madoda Mxakwe in welcoming the judgment said:

“‘This judgment bears testimony to the SABC’s commitment to addressing corporate governance failures of the past, whilst ensuring monies due to the Corporation are recovered. We are confident that this judgment demonstrates progress in the SABC’s turnaround journey.”

The first Classroom Radio Drama Competition is looking for works that will find resonance with learners between the ages of 13 and 16 that can be used in the classroom.

There is no prescribed theme, but the radio drama cannot be longer than 10 minutes. The competition is open to all South African writers and dramas can be submitted in either Afrikaans, English or isiXhosa. One winner in each language category will receive a prize of R10 000.

The closing date for submissions is Friday 14 January 2022 at 17:00 and winners will be announced on 28 January 2022. Only one entry per writer will be accepted.

This new competition is a collaboration between the WCED, RSG and the SU Woordfees.

Anina Lundie, Senior Curriculum Planner for the Creative Arts at the WCED, says:  “The Radio Drama Competition is part of a development project for teachers that will help build their capacities to use radio dramas as learning tools in the classroom. There is great value in using radio dramas in the Creative Arts courses as they help learners to use drama and build language skills in a creative and innovative manner. The WCED is enormously appreciative of this new opportunity to work with the SU Woordfees and RSG and to anchor this creative learning project in the realm of the professional radio drama industry.”

According to Kobus Burger, Senior Producer at RSG, the world of sound is now within everyone’s reach thanks to cell phones: “You can tell a story using nothing more than a device in your hand. RSG is excited to be working with the WCED and the Woordfees to give a new generation of storytellers a chance to tell their stories.”

Director of the SU Woordfees and WOW Project, Saartjie Botha, is also excited about this initiative: “The competition brings the performing arts and education so much closer to each other. We are privileged to be able to present this project with valued partners such as the WCED and RSG.”

Johannesburg – Thursday, 09 December 2021 – Siyamthanda, a TV special featuring some of the most potent recollections of South African National rugby captain, Siyamthanda “Siya” Kolisi’s earlier life and journey to the top, will air this Saturday, 11 December on SABC 2 at 18.30. The 48-minute TV special is a co-production between Red Bull Media House and SABC Sport that features people who have made a key contribution to his life.

The old adage “it takes a village”, has never been truer for someone like Siya Kolisi. Hailing from humble beginnings in Zwide, Eastern Cape, Siya, like most South Africans, had a rough start in life. In this production, he sits down with his close circle of friends and family to chat about his journey from the dusty streets of Zwide, Grey PE and to ultimately leading the Springbok team to victory in the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

The rare glimpse into Siya’s formative years is hosted by SABC sports presenter Thomas Mlambo, who spent the day with him, his close friends and family – including teammate Bongi Mbonambi, at ’50 on Gugs’ Shisanyama in Gugulethu.

“It was one of the most open and in some ways’ shocking’ interviews I’ve ever done because of what Siya reveals; I was genuinely shocked at how hard his life has been, and what he has overcome, ultimately I was ‘inspired,” says host, Thomas Mlambo.

The group reminisce and celebrate Siya’s journey to the top, unpacking some of their very first memories of him. His high school friend, Xolisa Velem, comments: “Siya was the smallest out of them, biggest ears, and his English was zero percent!”

His friends confirm that for the longest time, he always dreamed of playing in front of an audience and that they have had the pleasure of watching him achieve everything he told them he would achieve.

The special also touches on the more difficult elements of growing up in the township as well as the pressures of success and the responsibility he assumed when he took on his role as captain of the SA rugby team.

“I’m not perfect but, I can’t afford to disappoint society and the young children who look up to me. Representation is everything. I believe in shared leadership; I do not know everything. If I could change anything from when I was a kid, its mindset. That’s where you either make it or don’t make it,” says Siya, in the special.

It’s safe to say that the banter, laughter and touching moments in this production will leave viewers with a unique perspective about Siya.

To catch a glimpse of Siya Kolisi, tune into SABC 2 and Red Bull TV on 11 December 2021 at 18:30. You can also watch it on SABC Sport channel on DTT, Openview 124 and TelkomONE.
