The Democratic Alliance has headed back to court to take on Hlaudi Motsoeneng's most recent appointment at the South African Broadcasting Corporation. The party's federal executive chairperson James Selfe said at a press conference in Parliament on Wednesday that its founding affidavit had been filed in the Western Cape High Court. The DA wants Motsoeneng removed from his position as Group Executive of Corporate Affairs. It is also asking the court to declare Motsoeneng is "not a fit and proper person to hold any position at the SABC". "This application seeks to finally remove Mr Motsoeneng from the SABC and prevent him from serving in any senior position in the SABC unless and until the Public Protector's damning findings about his conduct and character are reviewed and set aside‚" Self said.Outgoing public protector Thuli Madonsela's 2014 findings in her report‚ "When Governance and Ethics Fail‚" found that Motsoeneng had lied about his matric qualifications and irregularly increased his salary.The DA is also asking the court to declare the SABC board inquorate – as it only has six members and nine are required for a quorum."The DA maintains that Mr Motsoeneng is a threat to South African democracy. He is an unethical‚ manipulative fraudster who has destroyed any semblance of good corporate governance at the SABC. Moreover‚ he is a modern day 'Goebbels' who treats the public broadcaster as his personal fiefdom to spread propaganda."While the Board should have taken steps to remove him in the interest of the SABC‚ when they appeared before the Portfolio Committee on Communications they refused to see that Mr Motsoeneng could no longer continue as an employee of the public broadcaster."As such we are also asking the Court for a declaration that the SABC Board is not only inquorate – it has only six members and requires nine for a quorum with the remaining members refusing to resign to allow an interim Board to be appointed – but that it too has aided and abetted the sharp decline of the public broadcaster‚" the party said in a statement. The Supreme Court of Appeal last month dismissed an application for leave to appeal by Motsoeneng‚ bringing into effect the Western Cape High Court's decision that his appointment as chief operations officer at the SABC was highly irregular and must be set aside.The DA has also called on the support of the African National Congress in its application. "It was the ANC's installation of Mr Motsoeneng and the SABC Board that has led us to this current situation and they ought to honour their recent overtures to never again be on the wrong side of the Constitution and the Rule of Law."ANC Chief Whip‚ Jackson Mthembu‚ must therefore give effect to his utterances and the ANC must publicly support the DA’s court action in this regard if they are at all serious about restoring the credibility of our public broadcaster."..
