Decision to ban violent protests was informed by law says Motsoeneng Former SABC Chief Operating Officer Hlaudi Motsoeneng spent his second day at the State Capture Inquiry defending his action during his tenure.

The commission’s evidence leader continued to probe the logic behind his decision to ban violent protests in news bulletins. He says that decision was informed by law.He discredited evidence given by some of the SABC 8 journalists

He, however, conceded it was wrong to project the banning of the protest visuals as the public broadcaster’s policy. Motsoeneng told the commission that disciplinary action against certain journalists was never about internal conflict – but contravention of SABC policy. “He came to me and said Chief there is blood on the floor, he said these people are defying me, and I said to him you know how I operate if you know people are not following the policy, you can’t come to me take action.”
