Unathi Nkayi and DJ Fresh have officially returned to the airwaves, launching their first live show together from Oskido’s restaurant, Darumba, on April 1.
The duo now hosts on 93.8, formerly known as Mix FM, marking a significant comeback for both media personalities.
Their return carries weight, considering the challenges they have faced in the industry.
Unathi’s exit from Kaya 959 in 2021 made headlines after her fallout with colleague Sizwe Dhlomo.
The station cited “certain conduct” that made their working relationship untenable, stating, “Unathi Nkayi’s contract has ended prematurely due to certain conduct that rendered the relationship intolerable going forward. Kaya 959 can confirm certain incidents occurred which resulted in the breakdown of trust between the two parties.”
Following her dismissal, Unathi took legal action against the station, demanding R1.6 million.
The legal battle has been ongoing, but she remains steadfast in her fight for justice.
DJ Fresh also faced his own professional hurdles when Metro FM terminated his contract in 2019.
His departure stemmed from a dispute over language used on-air, which led to a complaint being filed with the Broadcasting Complaints Commission of South Africa.
After three weeks of discussions, the SABC ultimately decided to part ways with him, citing “unsuccessful engagements” and stating that his actions had brought the broadcaster into “disrepute.”
