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

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.
