Hlaudi Motsoeneng insists that the public broadcaster would do what it believed was right for the nation, even as groups gathered to protest the SABC COO's controversial policy decisions which they believe have led to a crisis at the organisation.
When asked about the protesters picketing outside the SABC offices in Johannesburg and Cape Town, Motsoeneng said he wasn't sure "why they are making all this hulla-baloo", insisting that while he respects the rights of people to raise concerns, the SABC had a duty to fulfill.
Watch the interview below:
Disciplinary charges have recently been laid against several senior staff members who questioned Motsoeneng's decision to censor news coverage.
Acting SABC CEO Jimi Matthews meanwhile shocked the public on Monday when he suddenly resigned his post, citing a "corrosive atmosphere" at the broadcaster.
Motsoeneng has insisted there is no crisis at the SABC and that his "door is open to anyone" who sought clarity.
"When one or two persons cough, it does not mean all of us have flu. People at the SABC are very excited. There is no revolt within the organisation," Motsoeneng said.
