Businessman and radio personality Tbo Touch announced that he will be launching his own record label and entertainment company just few weeks after he resigned from SABC.
After 12 years of working with SABC station, Tbo Touch shocked his fans with the sudden and unexpected announcement of his resignation. The resignation letter, which was leaked online few weeks ago only revealed Tbo Touch thanking the organisation for believing in him and modeling his career but didn’t state his reasons for leaving.
Tbo Touch, who is allegedly in partnership with business man TK Nciza, announced his new company name ‘Showroom Entertainment’ says he will be back on radio soon.
“I never resigned from radio, I resigned from Metro,” Tbo Touch told his fans in a Rosebank nightclub where over the span of a few hours he splashed money on free drinks for everyone.
The former drive-time presenter finally spill the beans on why he left SABC.
According to times live, Molefe ( Tbo Touch) said he had quit over the SABC’s refusal to deny reports that he had been taken off air for a week for refusing to read a Hyundai advert, which subsequently lost SABC R15-million in advertising.
He admitted that he had refused to read the advert, but said his suspension was due to a physical confrontation with one of the show’s producers in May.
Molefe said he resigned because the SABC failed to dismiss the misinformation about his suspension.
He said he “couldn’t work at the SABC” if it did not correct reports about his conduct.
“It was about principle,” he said. “If I did not believe in myself I would not have resigned as the host of the No1 radio show nationwide, generating the most revenue and listenership. My lowest numbers averaged over 1.1 million listeners.”
