Question NW2280 to the Minister of Communications
23 January 2017 - NW2280
Van Damme, Ms PT to ask the Minister of Communications
(1) Whether the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) has reviewed (a) Mr Hlaudi Motsoeneng’s performance contract since his redeployment to the position of Group Executive of Corporate Affairs and (b) current affairs of the SABC; if not, why not; if so, will she furnish Ms P T van Damme with a copy of the specified review; (2) Whether the change of position for the specified person from Chief Operating Officer to the Group Executive of Corporate Affairs of the SABC had any implications for the person’s remuneration package; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (a) how was his remuneration package adjusted and (b) what is the total amount of remuneration that the person receives?
Reply:
1. (a) No
(b) No
The SABC is currently busy with the implementation of the performance management system to be implemented later in the year hence, no performance review on Mr Motsoeneng or any other employee of the SABC has been conducted. The quarterly review system is, however, done by individual line managers and in this case Mr Motsoeneng has not been in this (new) position for the period of 3 months.
SABC Current Affairs are operating normally and efficiently and there is no need for a review.
2. The disclosure of employee remuneration is against employee regulations. Further information about SABC employees’ remuneration may be obtained from the Annual Report which has been tabled in Parliament.
