Magopeni hearing: 'Special Assignment' producer says her dept did its duty

SABC Editor-in-Chief Phathiswa Magopeni is accused of failing to discharge her duties by preventing the interdicted episode from airing.

• Phathiswa Magopeni
• Special Assignment

JOHANNESBURG - The executive producer of Special Assignment told a disciplinary sitting that her department fulfilled its duties adequately despite an episode interdicted by the courts being flighted.

Busisiwe Ntuli took to the stand on Monday during her boss SABC Editor-in-Chief Phathiswa Magopeni's disciplinary hearing.

Magopeni is accused of failing to discharge her duties by preventing the episode from airing.

Ntuli said that what caused the airing of the incorrect episode of Special Assignment was that both the interdicted episode and the replacement were saved with the same code.

But she said that this wasn't the fault of news.

"Did the technicians tell you that it was a duplicate?" Ntuli was asked.

"No, none of that. I was not aware," she responded.

"Then why on the 26th was there a 'not used'?" she was asked.

Ntuli said: "Because I still did not know at that time that there was a problem of duplication and that the code that had an 'A' was actually a new code."

But Advocate Nazeer Cassim wanted to know more on this.

"Do you think that news could have done anything to avoid this? You're saying it couldn't. Is that what you're saying?"

Throughout the hearing, Advocate Cassim wanted to know why the interdicted episode was not completely removed from the system, to which Ntuli responded that there was no official instruction to do so.

I never caused Special Assignments episode to be aired: Magopeni

The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) Head of News Phatiswa Magopeni says she never caused a  Special Assignment episode to be aired, nor did she go against the interdict.

Magopeni has been charged with misconduct, negligence and bringing the public broadcaster into disrepute.

The matter relates to the airing of a Special Assignment episode on SABC3 which the SABC had been interdicted from broadcasting.

When asked by her legal team during the disciplinary process why the episode was not removed from the system entirely, Magopeni responded by saying, “Firstly the instruction we got was that the episode was interdicted and there was no further instruction that it needed to be deleted from the system. But the fundamental thing was that the instruction wouldn’t come from me because I operate from a system that comes from editorial policies that prohibits my direct interference or direct instructions from the office I occupy.”

“To the extent that producers and executive producers, editors and commissioning editors that would be video edutainment, have full responsibility for producing content and ensuring editorial controls. In my role, I can’t and do not give direct instructions to the newsroom.”

Court order

On Monday, Head of Output News Mlunghisi Shivamba who was Editor of Free-to-Air TV News and Current Affairs at the time the episode aired testified that the news department ensured it obliged the court order by finding a replacement episode.

He said the onus to ensure the airing of the correct episode lied with final control under the technical division and not with News.

“And also to see that we have put on the FCC sheet corresponds with what is in the tape. So, for them to simply look into an FCC sheet and conclude it corresponds and press a button, it’s very reckless of them. Because they need to account as a platform that this FCC sheet is what has been fed or loaded in their system. They do not have a right to just take an FCC sheet and think it suffices to put something on air,” said Shivamba.

We've got news for you., sabc news boss blames legal head for airing of interdicted show.

SABC news head Phathiswa Magopeni’s testimony at a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday put the public broadcaster’s legal guru, advocate Ntuthuzelo Vanara, in the spotlight.

Magopeni is accused of misconduct, negligence and bringing the public broadcaster into disrepute after investigative show Special Assignment aired a court-interdicted episode.

After three days of evidence from witnesses, including Vanara, who was first in the hot seat, it was Magopeni’s turn to state her case.

Not long before she threw Vanara under the bus, she was quizzed about why her department did not delete the show from the system after the interdict was granted.

Magopeni said this was because there was no instruction to remove it and that she believed such an instruction would only have come from Vanara.

Special Assignment editor Busisiwe Ntuli, who was grilled on Monday, was the first to lay the blame at Vanara’s door.

The inquiry, chaired by Nazeer Cassim SC, learnt how the show came to be aired.

The hearing was told that the blunder happened when a repeat programme that was meant to replace it on October 26 was given the same code as the Special Assignment episode.

Cassim and SABC lawyer Michael Bill wanted to know why the interdicted report was in the system in the first place.

Enter Magopeni, saying Vanara, who was handling the matter, never issued such an instruction. This led to a long-winded exchange with Bill during Magopeni’s cross-examination.

He insisted Magopeni was throwing Vanara under the bus to negate responsibility as the buck stopped with her on all news content at the Auckland Park-based broadcaster.

According to Bill, Magopeni was the one with the jurisdiction to issue an instruction that the banned show be removed from the system.

This was a proposition she vehemently dismissed, saying it would have been tantamount to editorial interference.

Magopeni said she felt “singled out” by the SABC and could not fathom why she was the only one being disciplined before a thorough investigation to establish where fingers should be pointed.

“Miss Ntuli was saying that no instruction was received from legal for the episode to be deleted. I do not think that is criticism [against Vanara],” said Magopeni.

Bill pressed her: “You think it is a compliment?”

Magopeni retorted: “I think it is a comment; I do not think it is criticism.”

Their verbal boxing match continued until Magopeni admitted she agreed with Ntuli that it was Vanara who ought to have issued the instruction for the report to be removed.

Bill fired first: “Do you hold a view that an instruction was required?”

“I do,” said Magopeni, to which Bill interrupted: “You hold the view that this instruction was required from advocate Vanara?”

“It would not have come from anywhere else,” she responded.

Cassim said the blame game would not help him in any way because the question of who was to blame was “not before me”.

Speaking highly of Vanara’s involvement in the saga, Cassim said it was unfair to blame him in absentia when he had not been charged.

According to Cassim, Vanara’s involvement in the issue after the episode was aired was “commendable”, if anything.

However, the case before him was simple and straightforward: could Magopeni have done anything to prevent contempt of court?

According to Cassim, all witnesses called by Magopeni to defend her had failed dismally to answer this question, but preoccupied themselves with a matter outside the inquiry’s terms of reference.

Cassim will issue his finding after Magopeni and the SABC’s legal teams submit closing written arguments to him no later than the end of business on Wednesday.

The oral hearings have been concluded.
