An informant for ZiMoja revealed that this was not the first time, and Sokhela left her bosses no other choice:
"We are all human beings, and we have issues, but with television, you need to inform people on time. Sakhiwo had a serious crisis, which is understandable, but going MIA is not good."
In the final incident, another source revealed that Sokhela claimed she did not see the schedule and went quiet without asking.
She has reportedly gone home to KwaZulu-Natal to cool off and is apparently not taking the situation well.
SABC addresses LootLove and Lamiez Holworthy matter
It's clear that the SABC stands on business, and we saw this when Luthando "Lootlove" Shosha and Lamiez Holworthy nearly lost their jobs.
The ladies landed in trouble after they each attended ANC rallies ahead of the elections, something that was in breach of their contracts.
While Lamiez walked away with merely a slap on the wrist, Loot was handed a short suspension from her show as the only one who had gone against her contract, according to a statement from the station:
"Hosting political rallies and/ or public association with political parties goes against the SABC's editorial policy, which is a public document."
