Former SAfm presenter launches R250,000 crowdfunding campaign for SABC legal battle
Veteran broadcaster Kgomotso “KG” Moeketsi has launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise about R250,000 for a High Court challenge against the SABC, accusing the public broadcaster of unfairly terminating her contract.
Former SAfm presenter Kgomotso "KG" Moeketsi has launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise R250,000 in support of her legal battle against the SABC. Dismissed from SAfm, Moeketsi accuses the public broadcaster of an unfair process and is seeking accountability rather than reinstatement. The campaign follows the SABC confirming her contract termination on July 15 after an internal process.
Moeketsi alleges she was unfairly dismissed without due process and wants the SABC taken to court. The broadcaster maintains that the decision was based on an internal investigation led by Ferdinand Mabalane, but Moeketsi disputes this account. She claims tensions arose after Mabalane's introduction to staff in March 2026 and an alleged link to her departure from Kaya FM in the early 2000s.
The dispute escalated after a May 30 incident involving a listener complaint and a technical failure during her broadcast. Moeketsi believes the technical failure received less immediate attention than the private exchange with the listener. She argues that the process did not comply with the procedures in her contract and that she has the right to appeal the decision.
Moeketsi, who wants to pursue the matter in the High Court, seeks funding to cover the costs of litigation.
