Former eNCA presenter Chris Maroleng has been appointed as the chief operations officer (COO) of the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC)
The SABC posted the announcement on its news profile on Twitter on Tuesday afternoon.
Maroleng has been appointed as COO of the SABC, with effect from 1 February 2018, the tweet said. Maroleng's career includes his previous post as executive for group corporate affairs at the MTN Group, eNCA Africa editor for six years and a researcher at the Institute for Security Studies.
He gained social media fame after being involved in a heated on-air discussion with former AWB secretary general André Visagie on eNCA in 2010, which led to him saying the famous line, "Don't touch me on my studio".
