The SABC board on Friday suspended group executive for commercial enterprises, Gab Mampone.
The board stated it reached its decision to suspend Mampone on the basis of information in its possession which appeared to point to possible acts of serious misconduct.
This related to both his current position and during his period as acting group CEO (May 2008 to December 2009), the broadcaster said in a statement.
“The board believes that Mr Mampone’s continued presence at the SABC may jeopardise investigations into the allegations of possible misconduct by him.
“On Wednesday, Mr Mampone was invited to make representations on why he should not be suspended.
“Earlier today [Friday], the board received and considered Mr Mampone’s representations and issued notice of his suspension,” it said.
