Former SABC COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng has won a court challenge against the public broadcaster in a case concerning an application that was brought by the SABC to force him to pay the legal costs it incurred

City Press has learnt that Motsoeneng scored a victory in the Western Cape High Court on November 21, in a case concerning an application that was brought by the SABC to force him to pay the legal costs it incurred.

Motsoeneng then withdrew this charge, but last week the SABC was unsuccessful in forcing him to cover the legal costs. The source has alleged that the SABC is spending far too much money on legal cases, particularly ones brought by disgruntled former employees, who were fired on the grounds of being irregularly appointed by Motsoeneng during his tenure as COO.

In her report, released in 2014, Madonsela recommended that action be taken against Motsoeneng for receiving exorbitant salary increases and lying in his SABC application form that he had a matric certificate. “After being charged, Motsoeneng approached the Western Cape High Court, seeking an order compelling the SABC to include charges he had faced in a disciplinary inquiry. This was declared invalid by the court. Motsoeneng withdrew his application without tendering the legal costs incurred by the SABC in defending his application.

“The SABC is on record for saying that it will not litigate through the media. Court records remain available for inspection to members of the public, including the media, who have an interest in the application.
