Ukhozi FM is looking for a replacement for Zandile Tembe.

PREPARATIONS to replace Zandile Tembe, the former Ukhozi FM programmes manager, are underway.

The position was advertised on the SABC website, and the closing date for application was on Monday, 29 November.

According to the advert, the new manager must have a degree in communication, media studies or business management.

They must have six years’ experience in radio broadcasting, with three of them at supervisory level.

The manager will, among other things: “Monitor and review programmes to ensure continuous improvement and alignment with station positioning. Manage risks to protect organisational integrity and create value. Prevent financial losses and ensure compliance with applicable policies. Respond timeously to complaints. Transfer skill in line with succession plan, manage available staff and identify potential to ensure fair and balanced distribution of work.”

Zandile joined Ukhozi FM in 2008 as a content producer, and left with 10 years of experience as a programmes manager.

In September, Daily Sun learnt that her contract had not been renewed. An insider had told the People’s Paper she “had a five-year contract with the SABC, but it was not renewed. It was said that she had been protecting a presenter for a long time.”

In October, she started serving her one-month notice period, that ended up being cut short.

At the time, a source told Daily Sun that “someone was out to get her”.

Spokeswoman Gugu Ntuli confirmed Zandile’s replacement, and said: “The SABC can confirm that the recruitment process for a new Ukhozi FM programmes manager is underway. The SABC is not in a position to discuss the number or names of candidates. Recruitment will be finalised once all due processes have been concluded. With regards to Zandile, it would be very unprofessional of the SABC to discuss contractual matters of a former employee. The SABC reiterates that she was not dismissed, but her contract came to an end.”
