Times Live: Ellen Tshabalala says recommendation to remove her as SABC boss procedurally unfair...
The decision by Parliament's communications portfolio committee to recommend SABC chair Ellen Tshabalala's removal from office was "procedurally unfair", her lawyer Michael Tillney said this morning. "It implies I had a fair hearing. That was not the case," Tillney said on her behalf in Johannesburg.
BD Live: SABC chair could fight suspension call in court... South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) chair Zandile Tshabalala, found by Parliament's communications portfolio committee to have lied and guilty of misconduct, may approach the court to challenge the committee's decision.
BD Live: DA lays criminal charge against Tshabalala for perjury... Meanwhile, DA communications spokesman and MP Gavin Davis filed a charge of perjury against Tshabalala at a Cape Town police station yesterday.
She claims to have degrees from Unisa, which says she doesn't and in fact says she failed so badly that it barred her from further studies at the institution, and she was found to have lied when she said her proof of her qualifications had been stolen in a burglary.
On Wednesday she claimed, through her lawyer, that the Unisa records had been altered to remove the record of her having achieved the qualifications she claims to have.
Meanwhile, in an affidavit that he handed to the South African Police Service yesterday when laying a charge of perjury against Tshabalala, Davis said she lied about her qualifications, and also committed perjury since her claim that the certificates were stolen was made under oath in a sworn affidavit.
