Sol Phenduka Reacts to Sizwe Dhlomo's Kaya 959 Exit
Sol Phenduka has expressed shock following the sudden resignation of his former radio co-host, Sizwe Dhlomo, from Kaya 959. Dhlomo officially announced his departure during his show, ‘Siz The World,’ on Wednesday, May 27th.
The resignation, described by many as a bombshell, has sent ripples through the South African radio landscape. Dhlomo’s departure marks the end of his tenure at Kaya 959, a station known for its blend of music, talk, and current affairs programming.
Details surrounding the reasons for Dhlomo’s resignation remain somewhat unclear, although his announcement on air suggested a dissatisfaction with the current direction of the station. While he didn’t elaborate extensively on air, it’s expected further explanations will follow. Phenduka, who co-hosted alongside Dhlomo, has acknowledged the unexpected nature of the news, stating he was taken by surprise.
Kaya 959 has yet to release an official statement regarding Dhlomo’s exit or plans for replacing him on ‘Siz The World.’ The station is a major player in the Johannesburg radio market, and Dhlomo’s popularity ensured a significant listenership for the show. The impact of his departure on the station’s overall performance remains to be seen.
Both Phenduka and Dhlomo have established themselves as prominent voices in South African media, and their on-air chemistry was a key factor in the success of ‘Siz The World.’ The circumstances surrounding Dhlomo’s departure are likely to be closely scrutinised by industry observers and listeners alike.
