Thorough probe into conduct of Mpofu, Zikalala

Sanef has expressed concern over suspensions at the SABC

SABC Board chairperson, Khanyisile Mkhonza, says two separate investigations - one external and another internal - will be held into Group Chief Executive Dali Mpofu and News Executive Snuki Zikalala. Zikalala was suspended by Mpofu a day before he himself was suspended by the board.

Mkhonza says the Board has appointed a company that is investigating Mpofu. She has however emphasised that some of the investigations at the corporation had already been started by Mpofu. "The process has started and the acting CEO will have to follow that process," says Mkhonza.

Meanwhile, the Acting Group Chief Executive Gabriel Mampone, who heads commercial enterprises at the SABC, has urged staff to continue fulfilling their public service mandate despite the ructions at the broadcaster.
