Unathi Nkayi comes under scrutiny

Radio personality Unathi Nkayi has once again come under scrutiny.

Nkayi recently made the headlines when she accused former colleague Sizwe Dhlomo of insulting her at the radio premises.

The startling details, which contradict Nkayi’s claims that she was pink slipped even after she apologised to Dhlomo for wrongly accusing him of insulting her, are contained in Kaya FM’S application to oppose the multi-million lawsuit she filed in the Joburg High Court earlier this year.


Unathi is yet to issue a public apology to Dhlomo and that is were her woes lie.

She recently announced that she would be releasing a documentary titled set the record straight.

Nkayi is demanding R1.6-million from Kaya FM for unfair dismissal..In the papers, which we have seen, Kaya FM said Nkayi made misrepresentation regarding violence, abuse and language that had resulted in causing anxiety among the colleagues and employees of the station.

Dhlomo was cleared of any wrong doing after he alluded that he not hurl any profanities to Nkayi.

Below is a paragraph from the judgement.

“The plaintiff persisted in her misrepresentation of events of 18 October 2021 in order to accuse Mr Dhlomo of violence, abuse and uttering profanities to and directed at the plaintiff,” read the papers.

Nkayi was axed from the station under a cloud.

The station supported its case by attaching an email in which Nkayi made false accusation against Dhlomo.
