Amidst swirling rumors and controversy, Motaung's absence from his radio shows raises questions about the future of his broadcasting career. 

Speculation and controversy abound following the reported dismissal of veteran SABC presenter Thuso Motaung, whose absence from his usual radio slots has sparked inquiries and raised eyebrows among listeners. While the public broadcaster has neither confirmed nor denied the allegations surrounding Motaung's departure, the airwaves are abuzz with speculation about the reasons behind this sudden turn of events.

According to sources close to the matter, Motaung, a familiar voice on Sesotho radio stations, was conspicuously absent from his midday show, "Jwale Ke Nako," which was hosted by another presenter in his stead. Additionally, rumors suggest that Motaung's popular gospel show, "Makgulong a Matala," may see a change in its lineup as discussions about his replacement loom.

Controversy surrounding Motaung's departure stems from past events, including a reported altercation involving fellow Lesedi FM employee Thabo Kofa. Last year, Motaung and his wife, Mamontha Motaung, who holds a managerial position at Lesedi FM, were allegedly embroiled in a dispute with Kofa over unpaid wages. This incident prompted an investigation by SABC management, during which Motaung's level of involvement reportedly came under scrutiny.

Sources suggest that Motaung's dismissal may have been preceded by a formal inquiry, during which he was asked to provide reasons why he should not be terminated from his position. However, delays in Motaung's response purportedly led to his eventual dismissal, according to insider accounts.

In addition to his radio career, Motaung's professional woes extended to his role as a deputy director of intervention in the Free State, where his contract was terminated amid the unfolding drama with the public broadcaster. Reports also indicate that Motaung was sought after by authorities, with the Hawks reportedly visiting SABC offices to question him about his government positions.

Amidst these developments, speculation persists about the fate of Mamontha Motaung, who may face changes in her managerial role at Lesedi FM. While discussions regarding her potential transfer to Motsweding FM are said to be ongoing, details remain scarce, leaving employees uncertain about the future.

As rumors swirl and questions linger, the radio waves remain without the familiar voice of Thuso Motaung, marking a significant shift in the broadcasting landscape and prompting reflections on the complexities of employer-employee dynamics within the media industry.
