Former SABC COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng has seven days to pay back the more than R11.5m “success fee” paid to him by the public broadcaster in 2016.

declared that the decision by the former SABC board to pay Motsoeneng the fee was unlawful and invalid and set it aside.

Judge JL Khan has also ordered Motsoeneng to pay the costs of the application together with the costs of two counsel. Special Investigating Unit spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago said the court action was informed by the SIU investigation into the affairs of the SABC, which revealed it irregularly paid money to individuals and entered into contracts to the detriment of the public broadcaster.

In his counterclaim, filed in the same high court, Motsoeneng denied wrongdoing, arguing that he was entitled to outstanding compensation for his business “innovation” and for raising capital for the cash-strapped SABC. The SABC “has an obligation to pay the remainder of the monies which constitute part of the 2.5% of the R1.19bn to the defendant,” read the court papers.

Khan said as the COO, Motsoeneng’s key accountabilities included being responsible for platform management and content generation activities of the SABC, including developing local, continental and global partnerships with relevant industry players.

Failing which?

Our justice system is now a joke. How can he be asked to pay back what he didn't make a decision in making? The people who must account are those who made that decision. Another judge in the future will say something else regarding this
