The media personality and businesswoman joined 94.7 early last year replacing DJ Fresh as the host of the Drive slot.
In a statement that she released then, Thando said she was happy to join the 94.7 family. “I am really excited to be returning to radio and to have been approached by Joburg’s coolest frequency, 947, is just fantastic. I have always loved radio as a medium to genuinely connect with people through music and conversation.
“I believe music is a true leveler, bringing people together in a place and time that is about what they are hearing and how it makes them feel. I can’t wait to get behind the mic and contribute to our 947 audience’s listening experience.”
Biding farewell to DJ Fresh, PriMedia announced that the company had decided to let go of DJ Fresh and his co-host Euphonik. The statement read, "the company has decided to release DJ Fresh and Euphonik from their contracts. Their last shows on 947 were aired on 15th January and 10th January 2021 respectively.
However, the company said its decision had nothing to do with the allegations.
“This decision does not reflect a view on the veracity of any allegations against either Euphonik or Fresh. Rather it prioritises Primedia Broadcasting’s business imperatives. We believe that this decision is in the best interest of our company and our various stakeholders,” said Geraint Crwys-Williams, Interim CEO of Primedia Broadcasting.
Meanwhile, The charges against the DJs were dropped due to insufficient evidence. A few days ago, their accuser reacted on social media after it was reported that the NPA has reopened the case.
Her legal representation Brenda Madumise-Pajibo had told City Press, that they have been consistent and have also taken the matter to the Public Protector.
“We’re waiting to hear the reason they’ve decided to reopen it. Remember that once the DJs announced on Twitter that the NPA had decided not to prosecute, we launched a formal dispute and grievance against the police. They then undertook to investigate what had transpired with the case." But the NPA is singing a different tune. Read More: Plot Twist In Rape Case
