WATCH: Hlaudi Motsoeneng's full speech at Mandoza's funeral

Former SABC COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng paid tribute to fallen Kwaito star Mandoza at his funeral in Soweto on Friday - and took the opportunity to lambaste his critics.

Motsoeneng is effectively an ordinary SABC employee after the Supreme Court of Appeal earlier this week dismissed his application for leave to appeal a ruling by the Western Cape High Court‚ which set aside his permanent appointment.

At the funeral he started off by telling mourners about his last visit to Mandoza but then went off on a tangent singing his own praises.
