Fired FM: DJ Sbu pulls a shocker, sets up Radio Station for fired DJ’s
Of late seasoned DJ’s have seen themselves being axed from Radio stations some for their off-screen drama and unfair dismissal. In the wake of Robert Marawa sacking, DJ Sbu has come up with one of Mzansi’s greatest ideas. Well, DJ Sbu has made her intentions known.
DJ Sbu has taken to his social media to let his intentions known as he proposes to start a radio station for himself and all the other DJs who have been fired from major radio stations.
The star shared a picture of some of the big names which include DJ Fresh, Gareth Cliff, Robert Marawa and Tbo Touch. DJ Sbu suggested that these legends appear in one radio station as Robert Marawa is fired.
However, he asked his fans to share their opinions and give him the names of some of the female DJ’s they will like to have on the show.
He said: “Now that Robert has also joined the Fired Squad. How many of you would love to see this Radio Station happen and which sisters would you recommend to join these goats on the line-up?”

The post elicited a lot of reactions on social media and even got the attention of Robert Marawa. However, it was recently reported that Why Robert Marawa was fired.
Award-winning sportscaster Robert Marawa presented his show #MSW for the last three months as if his life depended on it, but deep down he knew his days at the SABC were numbered as his contract would not be renewed when it expired at the end of last month.

However, ironically, a few hours after the SABC announced his departure in a statement, Marawa scooped Best Sports Show of the Year at the SA Radio Awards. We have learnt Marawa could be replaced by Udo Carelse on Radio 2000 while Metro FM is still looking for a replacement.
However, rumour has it that he was fired due to a fallout between him and showrunners. In the wake of his dismissal, SABC has issued out reasons behind his exit.
The source claimed that Marawa had again fallen victim to political interference and a power struggle within the public broadcaster. According to another source, the SABC cited the financial quagmire it was facing as one of the reasons it was not renewing Marawa’s contract.
