SABC executives rubber-stamped an unlawful decision to pay “music legends” a R50,000 windfall without any business case before them.

This is the argument that the Special Investigating Unit and the SABC is pushing in the Special Tribunal as it tries to set aside the controversial decision and recover R2.5m paid to music legends in 2016. Former SABC COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng and nine other former executives, including former Group CEO James Aguma, have been hauled before the Special Tribunal by the SIU and SABC in a bid to declare their decision to make “gratuity payments” to 180 “music legends” unlawful and set aside.183 musicians would be paid for the role they played during apartheid. Only 53 of them were paid R50,000 each in 2016.

Jabu Motsepe SC, for the SIU and the SABC — joint applicants in the matter — argued there was no budget for the expenditure and there was no business case presented for the payments.
