Trade unions and the Save Our SABC Coalition are expected to meet chief operating officer Hlaudi Motsoeneng at noon today to discuss the suspension of six journalists who spoke out against censorship at the public broadcaster.Motsoeneng has promised to apply his mind to the suspensions, telling union representatives he did not know why the journalists had been disciplined.The six were suspended last week after questioning editorial interference at the SABC.Solidarity, the union representing the suspended journalists, said the disciplinary process was not conducted lawfully as journalists were not given the right to respond to allegations or provided with clear reasons for their suspension.Solidarity's Anton van der Bijl said, if necessary, the union would go to court this week to have the suspensions lifted. He said the journalists were more concerned about the bigger issue of censorship at the broadcaster.The Save Our SABC Coalition said the broadcaster's updated editorial policy would be a key focus of the meeting. Spokesman Sekoetlane Phamodi said the policy was unlawfully adopted and gave Motsoeneng control over all content.Former acting CEO Jimi Matthews, who resigned this week, admitted yesterday that it would be better off if Motsoeneng was removed.Speaking on eNCA's Meet the Media show, Matthews was asked about an affidavit to the Supreme Court of Appeal in which he vouched for Motsoeneng.In the affidavit Matthews warned of "financial consequences, instability, loss of investor confidence and also of market share and valuable trade secrets" if Motsoeneng was removed from his position.On the show Matthews would not answer questions about whether he had perjured himself in the affidavit, which is contradictory to the resignation letter in which he criticised Motsoeneng.The DA has claimed the ANC has blocked efforts to hold a special parliamentary session on troubles at the SABC."[The ANC] indicated that a meeting can take place only after the election," said DA spokesman Phumzile van Damme.She said it was clear the ANC "was not serious at all" about restoring the credibility of the public broadcaster.Moloto Mothapo, ANC spokesman in parliament, said the SABC impasse "cannot be rushed". - Additional reporting by Philane Nombembe, TMG Digital..
