On 19 January 2023, the Supreme Court of Appeal dismissed with costs an application brought by Hlaudi Motsoeneng to appeal the order of the High Court of South Africa: Gauteng Local Division, Johannesburg, declaring the decision of the then SABC Board to pay him R11.5 million as unlawful and invalid. Around August 2016, the then SABC board took a decision to pay Motsoeneng a success fee for clinching the MultiChoice deal.
