The broadcaster announced Maijang's resignation in a statement released on Wednesday.
“It is indeed a bittersweet moment for us as the SABC. His departure comes at an exciting time for us as we are starting to see the fruits of our repositioning as a division, a project that Mr. Mpherwane contributed immensely to,” SABC TV group executive Nomsa Philiso said in a statement.
Maijang was general manager of TV Bouquet and headed up the management of SABC 1,2,3 and Encore at the time of his resignation.
