Major changes are taking place in some of the biggest radio stations and sadly our faves have to go. From YFM letting 9 presenters go to seeing our faves hang up the mic on METRO FM, it could be safe to say, that this the new era in radio.
Here are some of the shocking departures on METRO FM:
Pearl Modiadie
After filling our homes with her angelic voice and captivating laughter for years, Pearl Modiadie has decided to hang up the mic. The 31st of March, will be the final day listeners get to hear Pearl's voice on METRO FM, as confirmed by the radio and television presenter herself.
Pearl is the current host of METRO FMβs lunch time slot with her partner in crime Thomas Msengana, and together they entertain listeners during their lunch hours on Lunch with Thomas and Pearl from 12:00 to 15:00. Her previous slot was with Amon Mokoena and together they hosted βThe Great Escape.β
Confirming the daunting news, Pearl commented on a fan's Tweet who prayed she does not hand up her headphones along with her co-host. There are major shuffles on radio and the fan hoped the duo would remain but Pearl had to burst her bubble.
"Hereβs a big squishy hug in advance," responded Pearl. She then added that Wednesday is the last day, "Wednesday the 31st is my last Metro FM broadcast."

LootLove AKA Luthando Shosha
Calling it a wrap with her is twin-mommy Loot Love who announced in a lengthy Instagram post that she will be leaving METRO. Her exit is neither permanent nor temporary as she said she will return when it makes sense for her to do so.
"A beautiful journey that started in 2016 with a bright eyed young broadcaster who was ready to take over the airwaves...and take over the airwaves she did! Itβs been a wild ride.
"The last year of my life has bought immense change and also made me incredibly fearless... with that said, Iβm hanging up my headphones for now until it makes sense for me to glide on the airwaves again... In order to grow, you have to let go," she announced.
Thomas Msengana, is Pearl Modiadie's co-host for their Lunch with Thomas and Pearl slot which airs from 12:00 to 15:00. He too will be hanging up the mic on Wednesday along with Pearl. Oh what a joyful ride it has been! He has been rumoured to be joining Kaya FM for an even bigger role at the station, so we are very excited for that.
Mo Flava
Mo Flava exiting the show was a way to prove that nobody is irreplaceable. He is well on his way to replace 947 DJ's Fresh and Euphonik after their rape scandal. βThey wanted someone whoβll redeem the station from recent rape drama that has been unfolding in the public recently. They feel their image has been dented. After long discussions they agreed Mo Flava was the perfect man for the job.β
