Radio personality Sizwe Dhlomo has shared more details around the incident that ended up in Unathi Nkayi being abruptly fired from Kaya959.
Last week, the commercial radio station announced in a statement that the Idols SA judge’s contract was being terminated with immediate effect.
“Nkayi’s contract has ended prematurely due to certain conduct that rendered the relationship intolerable going forward.
“Kaya 959 can confirm that certain incidents occurred, which resulted in the breakdown of the trust relationship between the two parties.
“The business can further confirm that due process was followed and the decision was therefore made to part ways with Nkayi,” said the statement.
Following this, City Press reported that Sizwe and Unathi were allegedly involved in an argument which saw Nkayi lay a formal complaint with the HR department, claiming that Sizwe was verbally abusive and showed unprofessional conduct for not being on time for his show.
Sizwe took to Twitter to tell his side of the story, saying: “Regarding the article in the City Press this morning, I’d just like to state that in the context of GBV in our country and even on the backdrop of Kaya’s history as an organisation, a false abuse claim is not only malicious to those it’s levelled against but it also delegitimises the claims of thousands of victims whose cases fall apart because of lack of evidence.
“Such an egregious lie is a highly irresponsible thing!”
