The station kept quiet about her specific offences, but she has since claimed that she was silenced. One of the most well-liked radio hosts in the nation, Unathi Nkayi is admired…

 
for her distinctive husky voice and outspoken persona. Unathi Nkayi has had a fruitful career in radio, working for some of the country’s major stations, including YFM, Metro FM, Kaya FM, and Star FM.
However, not everything has gone well for the well-known radio host. After being fired from her radio position at Kaya FM in 2021, she trended for several days. What specifically occurred between Kaya FM and Unathi Nkayi? Unathi Nkayi was hired by Kaya FM in March 2021, three years after quitting Metro FM and she vowed not to return to radio any time soon. She took over Bridget Masinga’s position as host of noon to three show that airs Monday through Thursday.

According to a statement by Kaya FM, Ms Nkayi’s contract was prematurely terminated because of actions that made the future course of the relationship intolerable. Instances that led to the breakdown of the trust relationship between the two parties, as confirmed by Kaya 959, had occurred. The company can also attest that the proper procedures were followed and that Ms Nkayi was fired. After Unathi Nkayi’s firing was made public, as was to be expected, several rumours about the specific event that led to Unathi losing her job at the station spread. Some alleged that she had gotten into a physical altercation with her former coworker Sizwe Dhlomo. Unathi Nkayi claimed that Kaya FM had tried to silence her and that she had turned the matter over to her lawyer. It is alleged that the directors’ dislike of her and their grievances against her are the real reasons she left. She is now free to discuss what happened publicly due to a contractual obligation.
Nkayi also clarified the situation regarding the GBV rumours that had been circulating, claiming that she had never charged Sizwe Dhlomo with any GBV against her. You can’t, however, bring a good woman down. Unathi Nkathi found work as a radio host at Star FM, a radio station based in Johannesburg, almost three months after leaving Kaya FM.
