[The joint official statement] confirmed that MoFlava was not fired, but had made a mutual decision with the station to end his contract.
The reasoning behind this was shared in the statement as it quoted the broadcaster expressing why he made the decision to not come back as:“The time has come for me to move on and explore other opportunities. I have spent eight amazing years at METRO FM and I appreciate the opportunity I was given to do top-level radio and touch lives. The METRO FM listeners have a special place in my heart. I am looking forward to exploring new opportunities I have lined up in radio where I will continue to express my talent. I am also excited about TV opportunities on the horizon. I’ll also continue to help young people who want to get into radio broadcasting through radio demo workshops."
Moreover, the statement confirmed that MoFlava will have his last day as the host of Wake Up On Metro FM on Friday, 10 March 2023. Thereafter, his co-host Khutso Tsaledi will hold down the fort until the beginning of April when the new permanent host is announced.
