What’s Hot: Pearl Thusi and DJ Warras get the chop

Pearl Thusi and DJ Warras are reportedly leaving Live Amp. 

The two presenters will be hosting their last show on Friday, 5 February, according to Sunday Sun. 

The music show, which airs at 9pm, will reportedly move to 7.30pm and has been cut down from one hour to just 30 minutes.

Luthando “LootLove” Shosha, who hosts alongside Pearl and Warras, will not be affected by the changes. 

A source told the tabloid: “We were all shocked when we saw the call sheet for 12 February.” Another one claimed that the show isn’t working out.

SABC spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago told Sunday Sun: “We’re busy with rescheduling. We’ll make an announcement soon.”

Pearl confirmed the reports. She told the paper: “I know my comment is never good enough unless it’s something bad. Yes, it’s true. But the show’s producer, Sjula Dlamini, will give you comment.”

Live Amp is not the only show facing changes at the SABC. It was also recently reported that Minnie Dlamini and Thomas Mlambo will be leaving SoccerZone. 

The public broadcaster is reportedly looking at turning the show into a 30-minute highlights package that will not feature any presenters.
