Hlaudi Motsoeneng will have to explain to the Labour Court tomorrow why he should not be held liable in a personal capacity for the wrongful dismissal of the SABC 8 journalists.

This follows after the Labour Court granted the application by trade union Solidarity on 11 May 2017, to add Motsoeneng as respondent in the trade union’s cost order case against the SABC.

Solidarity set its sights on Motsoeneng with the trade union arguing that Motsoeneng as the former chief operations officer made the final decision to dismiss the journalists.

According to Anton van der Bijl, head of Solidarity’s Centre for Fair Labour Practices, the time has come for Motsoeneng to be held accountable for his rash decisions. “Tomorrow we will overcome the last hurdle to holding him liable for the costs we had to incur due to his unlawful instructions and actions,” Van der Bijl said.
