The application by trade unions Solidarity and the Broadcasting, Electronic, Media & Allied Workers Union (Bemawu) that Hlaudi Motsoeneng should be added as a respondent in the two unions’ cost order case against the SABC will be heard in the Labour Court in Johannesburg on Tuesday, 28 March 2017.
This followed after the Labour Court’s 2016 ruling that the SABC 8 had been unlawfully dismissed. The court also granted with costs the applications of both Solidarity and Bemawu, each representing four of the SABC members, that the journalists should be reinstated.

According to Anton van der Bijl, head of Solidarity’s Centre for Fair Labour Practices, the trade unions will argue that although Motsoeneng did not carry out the instruction himself, the de facto decision to dismiss the journalists was carried out by Simon Tebele on Motsoeneng’s instruction. Tebele has already been added as a respondent to the case.

Van der Bijl furthermore explained that the trade unions want to add Motsoeneng to the case to hold him personally liable for the legal costs incurred by the two trade unions.

Members of the media are invited to attend the court application.

Date: Tuesday, 28 March 2017
Time: 09:45
Venue:  Labour Court, Arbour Square Building, cnr Juta and Melle Streets, Braamfontein
