HLAUDI WANTS TO SAVE SOUTH AFRICA

Controversial former SABC executive Hlaudi Motsoeneng, pictured, reportedly wants to “serve” the country and add “value” through public service.

This despite a myriad of corruption scandals and his alleged “dictatorial” leadership style.

SABC reports that during an address to North West ANC leaders on Thursday night, Motsoeneng said he wanted to make sure “even white people have a place in South Africa”.

“What comes to my mind is land … What comes to my mind is education because we need to make sure after the university‚ there is a future for young people‚ that they are employed by SOEs‚ employed by private sector, even government,” he said.

Former public protector Thuli Madonsela’s 2014 report found Motsoeneng had been dishonest and had misrepresented his matric qualifications, had irregulary increased his own salary, purged the broadcaster of senior staff and abused his powers.

But Motsoeneng clearly still wants a job in public office.

“I want to serve South Africans‚ not political parties. I want to serve the people of South Africa. I want to add value. I want to make sure that people that are black have jobs.”

“I want to make sure even white people‚ they have a place in South Africa,” he said.

Motsoeneng was suspended by the public broadcaster in December last year. – Citizen reporter
