After 3 weeks of being off-air due to foul language, the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) on Tuesday 9th 2019 announced a termination of Metro FM’s breakfast show headliner, Thato Sikwane also known as DJ Fresh’s contract with immediate effect.
“Mr Sikwane was afforded an opportunity to remedy his contractual breaches, which he failed and/or refused to do. This conduct resulted in the irretrievable breakdown of the trust relations between the SABC and himself,” the statement read.
The broadcaster said the termination followed unsuccessful engagements between SABC Radio management and DJ Fresh, subsequent to his usage of offensive language on-air.
