South Africa investigates 'wife gift' for SABC head
An investigation has been launched in South Africa into allegations that the head of SABC, the public broadcaster, was given a wife as a gift.
The Commission for Gender Equality said it had received a complaint after it was reported that Hlaudi Motsoeneng was given a bride by traditional chiefs.
They were part of a cultural group asking for more programmes to be broadcast in the Venda language.
The government said their behaviour was "regrettable".
