The SABC announced on Tuesday that Zikalala, its head of news and current affairs, would leave the broadcaster at the end of the

Board chairperson Kanyi Mkonza said Zikalala had "surfed through difficult water". She said the board wanted someone with "fresh ideas".
Journalist Phil Molefe would take over from Zikalala in an acting capacity from May 1 while a replacement was sought.
Zikalala has been embroiled in controversy during his term, including reports that he had blacklisted political commentators critical of the government then led by Thabo Mbeki, that he had leaked confidential SABC information to newspapers, and allegations that he had undermined axed CEO Dali Mpofu.
