by Zintle Mdaka

DJ, podcaster and broadcaster, Solomzi ‘Sol’ Phenduka has been fired from Kaya 959, following the ‘misogynistic remarks’ that were made about Minnie Dlamini on Podcast and Chill earlier this year.

Sol took to his X (formerly Twitter) page to share a video of social media sensation, Alostro saying “I am free”, when asked if he will be returning to the airwaves – he shared that he was fired.

Confirming the news, Kaya 959 acting managing executive Dave Tiltmann said in an issued statement.

“Kaya 959 cannot and will not condone comments made on the MacG Vodcast, where Sol Phenduka is an integral part of the presenting team,” said Dave.

“Misogynistic remarks made about actress Minnie Dlamini were unacceptable and inconsistent with respect owed to women. As a content provider of our flagship breakfast show, his alignment with comments made on the Vodcast does not reflect who we are as a station, nor what our listeners expect of us.”
