Johannesburg - SABC chief executive Dali Mpofu and director of news Snuki Zikalala are on a collision course after Mpofu's management team demanded that Zikalala be fired, the Sunday Times reported.
Successors for Zikalala's and other posts had already been identified and "some have even been approached."
The newspaper said candidates included a prominent academic and a senior executive working for an independent radio station.
SABC spokesperson Kaiser Kganyago told Sapa on Sunday: "I don't know where they got it from. It is not true."
Cosatu has called for the axing of Mpofu and Zikalala after President Thabo Mbeki's defeat at the ANC's Polokwane conference.
