Cape Town - Hosken Consolidated Investments [JSE:HCI] appointed chief financial officer Kevin Govender as the acting chief executive of its Sabido unit, HCI's CEO said on Thursday, following the high-profile exit of another executive.
Marcel Golding resigned as executive chairperson of HCI and chief executive of its Sabido unit following a tussle with the board that he said was over editorial independence at e.tv, the country's only free-to-air private broadcaster.
The spat has raised questions and fueled debate about media freedom in South Africa.
