    1. Get fired from the SABC.

    3. Be appointed immediately as director-general of a major government department - naturally at a fat salary.
    4. Laugh all the way to the bank. However, there are questions - like 'If Mokoetle is indeed appointed, what makes him the best candidate when he left many totally underwhelmed with his performance at the SABC?' and 'Was the vacancy properly and publicly advertised?'
