Wotshela’s letter

-

“It has taken me the longest time and serious anguish to get to this point where I find myself having no option but to file a grievance… I have endured bullying and the most acrimoniou­s treatment at the hands of the SABC GCEO.

The events of the past week and even this week have demonstrat­ed to me that this will never end until I do something about it. This treatment started few months after the GCEO joined the organisati­on and at the time I dismissed it.

“I thought it to be the behavior of somebody who does not understand the broadcasti­ng environmen­t, hoping that he will soon learn that some of the things that vex him are part of the environmen­t we operate in… However, months went by and the attacks and abuse of power continued and got even worse, to a point where last year I was seriously considerin­g resigning.”
