On his other radio station is an explosive interview with Ntsiki Mazwai, who bashes rapists along with Penny Lebyane. Together they have been very vocal about the issue of rape in the country and how prominent people sweep allegations under the rug.
"When it's somebody famous everyone shuts up about things like rape. But when it's an ordinary person then everyone is vocal. That's not ethical at all. Kanti what do you guys stand for?" said Ntsiki Mazwai, as quoted by DJ Sbu.
DJ Sbu shared one of the most powerful quotes from Penny who said, "The Politics of hunger are very serious in our industry, bread on the table is a reality. People have different responsibilities. How do you continue to be what you stand for without burdening yourself?"
