Tbo Touch accused of hijacking Soweto television station

Since the arrival of this board, staff morale is at its all-time low. Staff is facing intimidation and they are threatened with dismissals when they raise dissatisfaction.   Molefe and other board members have continuously threatened staff, saying they are not afraid of anyone and they have budget for CCMA and any court action taken against them. Soweto TV human resources manager Themba Radzilani disputed claims that Molefe has hijacked the community station, saying he was not even being paid to act as the CEO.

“Tbo Touch didn’t hijack the station, he was appointed properly with the current board. And everything he does [at the station] is with the mandate of the board,” said Radzilani.
He, however, confirmed that the producers were placed on suspension without being charged.

He said the company was in the process of investigating the producers, adding that if the producers were unhappy with their suspensions they had a right to approach the Labour Court for a recourse. He conceded that the station only had one car for producers, adding that this was due to the company’s historical unhealthy financial position.

Radzilani, who described Soweto TV as bloated, said the station was currently undergoing restructuring, which also affected the previous CEO “because she was draining the resources as she didn’t understand her job description”. This thing [Soweto TV] was bloated with people who are not working. but are expecting payment. There is no such thing that they [producers] are being suspended unfairly,” he said, adding that the producers were under-performing.
