Johannesburg - SABC Group CEO Dali Mpofu has been suspended with immediate effect, the public broadcaster's board announced on Wednesday.
"The decision to suspend advocate Mpofu follows an SABC board resolution taken on Tuesday. The board has resolved to conduct an investigation into very serious allegations about the conduct of the GCEO," a statement said.
"The allegations levelled against the GCEO include an alleged refusal and/or failure to abide and implement decisions of the board."
Mpofu has been suspended with full pay pending an investigation into the allegations, and, if necessary, a disciplinary enquiry.
"We intend to conclude this investigation within the next 30 days. In the meantime I would like to state categorically that at this stage no decision has been taken to terminate the employment of the GCEO," said board chairperson Kanyi Mkonza.
