DJ Sbu was standing in for MacG after he had to attend the funeral of his uncle, which was quite interesting from DJ Sbu. Dj Sbu came to talk about what has happened to Solphenduka’s former colleague, Dineo Ranaka, who has also joined the very same network as Solphenduka. Dj Sbu had made the comment that Solphenduka may have known that Dineo was going to be fired before it happened, but Solphenduka has not said anything about it. But DJ Sbu said it may have been known before by Sizwe Dlomo, who came in for her. He said it may be an opportunity for Dineo to have more freedom and more time to do what she loves.
He said he is aware that when you are fired from radio, you are going to lose the opportunity to earn more money and get a lot of gigs. He wanted to make people understand, and for that, there is an opportunity when one door closes and another opens for her. DJ Sbu is someone who speaks from experience, and he does not talk from a point of only understanding the situation. But she has a new opportunity, and MacG said that she hopes she does not quit along the way, just like in her previous podcast. It had only one episode, and nothing was brought from their.
“Sibusiso Leope, affectionately known as DJ Sbu, was in the prime of his music career when he unexpectedly got booted by the SABC in 2015. I posted a picture of me with Sis Khanyi Mbau holding a Mofaya can at the Metro FM Awards, and I think that’s the reason I got fired from the SABC for having done that because I got suspended, then a couple of weeks later I got fired. And a lot of people did not approve of what I had done. I am older now, and I look back, and I am like, Yoh! I was brave to do that, said DJ Sbu. I had just started Mofaya with my business partner. The way the system is in South Africa, especially in 2015, for you to get a 30-second slot at any time, especially prime time from 6 to 9, you are going to pay an exorbitant amount of money. Let alone create that ad. I didn’t come with a mindset of fraudulent, people go there to promote whatever they are wearing, and they talk about all these international brands that they are wearing, and it’s normal. With the hall filled with creatives, he explains he was merely sending a message to say to musicians, this talent that we have can change our lives so much that we can invest in things like this (Mofaya energy drink).”
