South Africa: Motsoeneng Must Go Immediately

press release

Congress of the People welcomes the judgement by the Cape Town High Court today, that Mr Hlaudi Motsoeneng be removed from his office at the SABC until the Public Protector's report is set aside.

COPE is calling upon the Minister of Communications Faith Muthambi to immediately remove Motsoeneng from the SABC building following the judgement by the court. This judgement is long overdue; time is up for Hlaudi's games. We say Motsoeneng must know that no person is above the law, including him. This should serve as an example to all those in power and think that they can just outshine the laws of this country. We are saying Motsoeneng must accept the defeat, respect the judgement and not to further waste taxpayers' money by running to court trying to appeal the judgement.
