Tbo Touch Reveals The Real Reason Why He Left Metro FM

Tbo Touch shocked Mzansi when he unexpectedly quit Metro FM few weeks ago in a letter that leaked to media. At the time it wasn’t clear why the most lisened to radio DJ left the station. Now, the media mogul is speaking out. Tbo Touch reveals the real reason why he left Metro FM.

Turns it’s all because the SABC refused to deny reports that he had been taken off air for a week for refusing to read a Hyundai advert, which had SABC losing R15-million in advertising.

Tbo Touch real name Thabo Molefe admits to refusing to read the advert, but said his suspension was due to a physical confrontation with one of the show’s producers in May.

Molefe said he couldn’t work at the SABC if it did not correct reports about his conduct. Therefore he resigned because the SABC failed to dismiss the misinformation about his suspension.

“It was about principle. If I did not believe in myself I would not have resigned as the host of the No1 radio show  nationwide, generating  the most revenue and listenership. My lowest numbers averaged over 1.1 million listeners.”
