  • The SABC Boss’s Twitter Parody Account Is Comedy Gold

    If you haven’t heard the name Hlaudi Motsoeneng you haven’t been paying attention, the SABC Chief Operating Officer having been in the news for all the wrong reasons.

    It was his qualifications (or lack thereof) that caused the most headaches, although these days he is enjoying a spot of rather plain sailing.

    Check this out from Fin24 earlier in the week:

    Minister of Communications Faith Muthambi has quietly approved the SABC’s editorial policy, giving COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng total control of content and programming, the DA has discovered…

    In the SABC’s previous editorial review process in 2004, a draft version of the policy was released for public comment. A draft was not released this time around, despite an undertaking from the SABC that it would do so after considering inputs on the existing policy.

    “We requested a copy from Minister Muthambi, and it became patently clear through a reading of the policy why she had chosen to finalise and approve it in secret,” said DA MP and spokesperson Phumzile Van Damme.

    “The policy gives the COO of the SABC, Hlaudi Motsoeneng, total control of the SABC’s content and programming.”

    Van Damme said with Motsoeneng having sole authority over all SABC’s programming, it will seriously compromise the SABC’s editorial independence as a public broadcaster.

    Oh, there are still people who think the SABC is anything but a government mouthpiece? Cute.

    Anyway we digress, because you’re here to laugh at the parody account that goes by Hllaudi Motsoeneng. That’s two L’s you see, just the subtle alteration.

    Let’s just get stuck in, working backwards from some of the more recent tweets:

    sabclaughs sabclaughs2 sabclaughs23 sabclaughs234 sabclaughs2345 sabclaughs23456

    No word on what the real Hlaudi has to say on the matter, but I imagine with a salary nearing R4 million he ain’t all that fussed by one rabble-rouser.
