Johannesburg - The SABC's exiting acting COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng thanked the broadcaster for letting him hold the fort, the public broadcaster said on Wednesday.
He thanked the SABC board for recognising his strengths and giving him the opportunity to act as its chief operations officer from November 18, 2011, The SABC said in a statement.
“The most appreciation is to the group executive committee and the SABC staff at large, for supporting his vision and commitment to the business of the public broadcaster.”
