Suspended South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) acting CEO James Aguma has until 13:00 on Wednesday to tender his resignation.

Chair of the hearings Taki Madima announced this during the fifth day of his disciplinary hearings in Sandton, north of Johannesburg on Wednesday.

Aguma was facing 10 charges, namely breaching his contract, dishonesty and frustrating the disciplinary hearings of axed SABC COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng. The charges would be dropped once he tendered his resignation.

On Tuesday Aguma lost his application to have the hearings set aside.

Aguma's lawyer Osborne Molatudi then announced that he would be launching an urgent application with the labour court to have the hearings dissolved calling them unlawful.
