SABC unaware of CEO resignation

Sabc Unaware Of Ceo Resignation

The SABC could on Wednesday neither confirm nor deny rumours that its chief executive officer Lulama Mokhobo had resigned.

"I am not aware of [her resignation] and I could not confirm it with anybody at the SABC," spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago said.

"I cannot say yes or no until I am officially told."

Earlier, the City Press reported that the Broadcasting, Electronic Media and Allied Workers Union (Bemawu) sent out the following tweet on Tuesday: "Lulama Mokhobo, SABC CEO has resigned!"

When the paper contacted the union for comment, Bemawu reportedly said "members within the building" had told the union "there is a strong unconfirmed rumour she has resigned".

The union reportedly said it had mistakenly believed that an announcement had already been made by the public broadcaster. – Sapa
