Former Johncom boss Connie Molusi has been appointed to chair Telkom Media — one of 17 companies applying for a commercial satellite and cable broadcasting licence, it was announced on Monday.
His experience leading one of the country’s largest media organisations made him ”a brilliant candidate” for the position, Telkom CEO Mandla Ngcobo said in a statement.
”… We are very excited to have him on board,” he said.
Molusi began his career as a journalist in the late 1980s, but left to join the government. He returned to the media in 2000, going on to become the first black person to lead a major media company in South Africa. — Sapa
