The public broadcaster has appointed group executive of television Nomsa Philiso as the acting CEO. The group was without a permanent group chief executive since the resignation of Lulala Chakela, after running battles with both Motsoeneng and the board almost five years ago.

The position was previously occupied by the group CFO James Aguma. He resigned suddenly last week before his disciplinary hearing.

Bessie Tugwana, formerly group executive for sport, has had her acting tenure in the COO position extended. This position was previously occupied by Motsoeneng, who is currently involved in a protracted labour relations battle with his former employer. The matter has been set down for a commission for conciliation, media and arbitration (CCMA) hearing next month.

Thabile Dlamini, general manager of finance for SABC commercial enterprises, has been seconded to serve as the acting chief financial officer.
