DJ Fresh on Thando Thabethe’s resignation from 5FM

Veteran broadcaster DJ Fresh is rallying behind radio personality Thando Thabethe after the star revealed that she had resigned from 5FM.

Thando announced her exit as the host of the SABC radio station’s afternoon drive show on Tuesday, saying she was “dropping the mic after six years at 5FM and 11 years on radio”.

ThaBooty, as she is known in these streets, added that she will host her last show on Thursday.

And so…I’ve dropped the mic..after 6 years at 5 and 11 years on radio! This is it. I’ve decide to focus on other spheres in my life … thank you to everyone that’s listened to my show, I’m nothing without you. #EverybodyLovesThabooty my final show will be this Thursday… pic.twitter.com/jE5ul1XdOK

Fresh, who knows all too well how Thando may be feeling, reached out to her on Twitter, saying, ” … and was sadly probably not the most difficult decision to make! ‍A sad loss for radio!”

Last year, Metro FM terminated Fresh’s contract with immediate effect after he used “foul language” on air.

In her resignation letter, Thando said, “This is probably the hardest decision I’ve had to make and it’s a bittersweet moment as I bid farewell to something that I’ve been doing for the last 11 years, and grown to love and cherish so much.”

Thando, who was the first woman to host the drive time show on 5FM, expressed that The Thabooty Drive was her baby and a really big moment in her career. Thando is now focusing on the next chapter in her life, which is acting and growing her business.

It’s funny how a week can change a man from being petty to being kind. Prince Kaybee is that miracle when he came for DJ Zinhle‘s defence after a troll came for her on social media.

Prince Kaybee was not having the cyber bullying that was directed at DJ Zinhle when she posted a picture, slaying us to pieces (as per usual). But a troll reared its ugly head and pointed out the most obscure thing to make fun of her for. According to Briefly.com, the tweet was posted and shortly deleted once Prince Kaybee retweeted and commented on the distasteful post. Read more
