MultiChoice CEO emails staff to 'not be distracted' by testimony at Zondo Inquiry

The inquiry is set to hear evidence by former Minister of Communications, Yunus Carrim, about the South African Broadcasting Corporation

The CEO of the MultiChoice Group, Calvo Mawela, has written an internal message to staff, instructing them to "not be distracted" by allegations which may be aired at the state capture inquiry on Wednesday.

The inquiry has been investigating allegations of state capture, corruption and fraud since August 2018.

The inquiry is set to hear evidence from former communications minister Yunus Carrim about the South African Broadcasting Corporation.

Mawela did not say in his message what the allegations were about, but said MultiChoice "emphatically deny" them.


"We have noted with disappointment the baseless allegations made by these [two] witnesses in their affidavits," he said, without naming the witnesses.

The affidavits of the witnesses are not yet publicly available.

Mawela asked staff to "not to be distracted by the reports in these allegations and any associated commentary and instead continue to deliver world-class service in order to delight our customers".

Fin24 sent MultiChoice questions by email on Wednesday morning. The responses will be added to this article if and when they arrive...

Why did this mysterious person not make use of the McDonald's Fast food company?
They will be much lighter on his budget and receive prompt service!

You really should take note of the reaction to this absolute trash of an article @rpm ....... the community is not stupid and hates BS.

I'm afraid that I must join the majority (if not all) of the posters and express my concern at both the accuracy as well as the intent of this story. I must also question the objective(s) of MyBB in publishing a piece that looks pretty much like advertorial and not editorial. As one poster commented "Sponsored content should be noted as such".
The quality, logic and intent of the piece were so bad, that if it's not advertorial, then the relevant staff writer should be looking for a new job. Come on MyBB - Keep your integrity intact please!

The BMW myth

BMWs are often seen as a luxury which can be sold when times are tough, but financial planning expert David Kop warned that this decision can cost some people more than what they save.

Kop told Finweek that he recently had a consultation with a client in financial distress and advised him to sell his BMW to free up some money.

“I could see my client immediately became disconnected, so I probed deeper,” said Kop.

“It turns out he was a massive road hog and had to ensure that he occupied all of South Africa's roads.”

This means that if he does not have a BMW, he has to buy a car like a Mercedes or Porsche such that he can hog the roads.

With expensive fuel and insurance that are a part of owning a luxury car, it can easily cost him more each month than his BMW payments.

“Although I saw a BMW as a luxury, to him it was his essential character and actually saved him money,” Kop said.
