Mpofu in court again
2008-06-02 10:42
Johannesburg - The high court will hear an application for leave to appeal by SABC chief executive Dali Mpofu on Monday, who was suspended for a second time last week.
Mpofu's lawyer, Sandile July, said the application for leave to appeal would be heard at 10:00.
The Johannesburg High Court ruled last month that Mpofu's first suspension on May 7 was unlawful because the meeting where it was decided did not follow the correct legal procedures.
But the board suspended him for a second time last Thursday when he received a letter ordering him to leave the premises of the SABC and not return unless it is to attend a board meeting.
Mpofu was initially suspended a day after he suspended his news chief Snuki Zikalala, who was accused of leaking a memorandum on Mpofu's alleged bad management of the SABC to the Sunday Times.
