JOHANNESBURG – As South Africans reel in shock over SABC’s decision to fire employees they believe have been illegally appointed, promoted and / or received salary adjustments, the organization also revealed Tuesday that even more people would face the same fate. .
In a statement to the public broadcaster’s staff, management described how they planned to send termination letters similar to what they call a “second cohort” before the end of the year.
So far, 13 staff members have received letters.
It’s unclear which labor relations laws the SABC considered to carry out the move, which would likely put the 13 employees out of work after receiving “letters” about their employment status from controversial COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng.
In the letter shared with staff on Monday, the organization’s management said they believed employees benefited through a process that denied other colleagues fair and equal access to compete for appointments and promotions.
Meanwhile, the SABC News Forum has contested the decision, saying they are dismayed by the decision.
The SABC has been considering firing workers for some time, so much so that they turned to the Labor Court earlier this year to review and overturn the appointments of 27 employees. However, this move was unsuccessful.
