SABC CEO and ‘cabinet plot’

Mon, 05 May 2008

Mail & Guardian reports that Dali Mpofu, CEO of public broadcaster SABC has denied that there is a Cabinet plot to get him fired.

This is in response to a Sunday Times article which reported that Mpofu accused President Thabo Mbeki’s cabinet of planning to oust him.

SABC spokesperson Kaiser Kganyago has now stated that Mpofu’s accusation, expressed during a meeting with Parliament, referred only to a single, un-named individual in the Cabinet.

There have also been media reports that Mpofu is at loggerheads with both the SABC board and the controversial head of SABC News, Snuki Zikalele.
