Nothing dubious about R877 000 awarded to Philiso: Kganyago

Reading Time: < 1 minute

SABC spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago says there is nothing dubious about the R877 000 awarded to acting group CEO Nomsa Philiso.

The bonus was questioned in Parliament earlier this week.

Kganyago says it is disheartening that media reports make it seem as if the bonus was paid out to Philiso now, while the SABC is struggling financially.

He says in fact, it was earned through her previous position as a general manager in the commercial enterprise division before she was appointed to her role as acting CEO of the public broadcaster.

“From that time she has been part of this incentive scheme just like all the other people who are in that division and therefore the money that they are talking about, as indicated in the financial report, was paid to her not now, but in the 2015 and 2016 financial year.”

“It was money that was banked from the financial year 2014 and 2015. Therefore it can only be malicious that someone is trying to make it look like the money was paid now when we do not have money.”
