Former SABC COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng and nine other former executives are expected to appear before the Special Tribunal as the public broadcaster and the Special Investigating Unit seek to recover R2.5m that was allegedly inappropriately paid to a number of musicians.
The SABC and SIU have approached the tribunal to recover this amount. They allege the money was not budgeted for and the payment did not comply with regulatory framework on procurement. It was also not in line with legislative prescripts including the Public Finance Management Act. Among those paid were the late Steve Kekana, musician and actress Mara Louw and kwaito musician Arthur Mafokate.
