Debt Collection most Crucial for SABC Survival

We call upon all Comrades in the Audience Services Division to participate in the crucial effort to get back monies that are owing to the SABC - and we are not talking licence fee defaulters now.

We require a shift in focus - if we have to wait for the external parties to come to our aid - it will be too late.

The SABC must save itself. It has the people power to do so.

Here is what we ask:

That the entire Audience Services Division assist with debt collection strategies, from the following debtors:

1. Corrupt managers who have stolen from the SABC.
2. Corrupt managers who have given work to family, friends and lovers.
3. Corrupt managers who have wasted public money via Wasteful Expenditure.
4. Corrupt managers who have hired their friends and girlfriends - at great expense.
5. Corrupt managers who spend their time womanising, instead of working.
6. Corrupt managers who never did anything, knowing the thieves are busy destroying us.
7. Corrupt managers who spend their days in lavish lunches with suppliers.
8. Corrupt managers who get spiked with alcohol, women or golf memberships by suppliers.
9. Girlfriends and friends of the above, who should not have taken a salary for doing nothing.
10. Suppliers who have been bribing the above.

Comrades, we await your offers of assistance, and comments on how you can add your huge potential value to the SABC in this regard. Harrassing old, poor people for a licence fee really is a waste of your immense talents. The Ministry of Communications agree.

My DC

Dear Comrades

I wish to express my sincere thanks to the support I have received from the CWU Shop Stewards Council so far. If we lose this DC, it would be because the panel have been instructed to get me out of top management's way.

Unfortunately, the DC has again been postponed. I apologise to the witnesses Cde Mimi has lined up for me - she and Cde Tommy are doing sterling work in this regard. We shall inform you of the date ASAP. Thanks also to Cde Ben for allowing me as author on this blog.

Please email me on rian.geldenhuys@gmail.com if you too would like to write on this blog.

Please create a gmail account before you do so. I shall forward your requests to Cde Ben, who needs to remain anonymous at this time.

The Magnificent Nine

Hlaudi Motsoeneng, a known victimiser, was fired from SABC in 2008, after investigations against him by the Head of News, the result of a long and hard struggle by unions in Free State.

The unions' joy was short-lived, however, when the shocking Dali Mpofu simply re-instated him, allowing him to run rampant along with the rest of the gang in Bloemfontein. SABC board, after complaints by the unions and Head of News, engaged Mpofu over this clearly illegal cover-up. Mpofu reacted by immediatly suspending the Head of News, and declaring war on the Board.

The board, in its ineptitude, the suspended Mpofu in turn. Both these suspensions were unprocedural, the only procedural one was the one the unions had asked for - that of Hlaudi Motsoeneng, the arrogant and "connected" victimiser.

The "MAGNIFICENT SEVEN":
1. Chief People Officer Phumelele Ntombela-Nzimande,
2. Head of Content Enterprises Mvuzo Mbebe,
3. Head of Group Strategy and Risk Sipho Sithole,
4. Legal Services Head Thabang Mathibe,
5. Public Broadcasting Services head Thami Ntenteni,
6. Acting chief operations officer Charlotte Mampane and
7. SABC spokesman Kaizer Kganyago.,

All proceeded to protest illegally against the board, and started a smear campaign the likes of which has never before been seen. All for Hlaudi and Dali.

Mkhonza commissioned a consultant to conduct a probe into the actions of the seven executives.
The report gave the green-light for action to be taken against ALL SEVEN. The report says the conduct by the executive managers involved was disruptive in the operations of the public broadcaster. "This action by these managers is in contravention of the National Key Point Act application to the corporation. This suggests that these managers are a threat to the SABC as per the provisions of the National Key Point Act. The behaviour of the seven executives to mobilise and defy the board's directive(s) during the suspension of (Mpofu) is serious and tantamount to misconduct. It encourages ordinary employees to mobilise or revolt against the highest competent authority, the board. "The outcome may be the dysfunctional and ungovernable SABC culminating in the loss of confidence by (the) public in the public broadcaster. The board may consider inviting the (police) Crime Intelligence (unit) together with the (National Intelligence Agency), to conduct screening of certain employees who may pose a threat to the SABC in terms of the National Key Point Act.

Here is the question:
