SowetanLive reports that a Ligwalagwala FM presenter has been fired for apparently posting videos on social media calling for men to give money to their wives and girlfriends. This sparked a backlash from listeners who complained she was "corrupting women into prostitution".
The SA Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) said on Sunday that Khaya Matchegue, who co-presented Khibika natsi, a midday show on weekdays, had had her contract terminated. Matchegue posted a series of videos on social media, in one of which she can be heard saying: "If a man doesn't give you money, he's probably giving it to someone else." Ligwalagwala FM released a statement on Friday indicating that the decision was based solely on Matchegue's admission of guilt in a report she wrote to the station's management that acknowledged her contravention of her contractual obligation to the SABC. "She admitted that her actions have brought the brand into disrepute and polarised the principal client, which is the listener of the station," the statement indicated.
