SABC Urged to Make Mokoetle Settlement Public

The South African National Editors Forum (SANEF) says the public has a right to know the details of the financial settlement bestowed on embattled former South African Broadcasting Corporation CEO, Solly Mokoetle.

In a press statement, SANEF chairperson, Mondli Makhanya, points out that, “The public interest and the fact that public funds could be involved dictate that a full and proper public statement is called for."

Makhanya argues that the ‘secrecy’ surrounding Mokoetle's departure is a cause concern, adding that SANEF view the silence over the matter as another move to deny the media and the public information concerning state conduct.
