Hlaudi Motsoeneng who is head of SABC picked a bare-br*asted 23 year old human resources management student from 10 presented by Venda traditional chiefs in northern Limpopo province of South Africa , where he and SABC executives met Venda lobby group, Mudzi wa Vhurereli ha Vhavenda.
In exchange for the wife he is alleged to have been given a cow and a calf in return.
Following a complaint to Commission of Gender Equality, the spokesperson for the commission told BBC that it had dispatched letters to all the parties and that its recommendation will be realised next month
The South African women’s ministry said it viewed the whole process as an abuse of cultural values.
“The use of women as gifts as if they were livestock is a serious regress and an insult to the gains of 20 years of democracy and freedom, particularly the contribution of women,” a statement from the ministry said.
The cultural group was requesting for more programmes to be broadcasted in their native language by the organization
