When QuenchSA reported that Thando Thabethe had announced her departure from 5 FM last month, the South African media personality had kept things clean and civil.

Instead of blasting the radio station over what we are now finding out, Thabethe expressed gratitude in a press statement that left fans stunned.

But on Tuesday, Thabethe revealed shocking details of the events that led to her resignation. A change in senior management, she revealed, triggered a series of unfortunate events that led to her outing.

In a thread she shared on Twitter, the radio presenter and actress said that she was forced out following an adversarial situation, in which she became the last person from her Thabooty Drive show to find out that her show would no longer be renewed.

In the thread, Thabethe said things went downhill after she’d asked for a R200 an hour raise for the peak hour slot on the SABC station, as well a couple of weeks off so she could go and start taping the looming second season of Housekeepers.

According to her detailed account of the events that led to the end of her five year run with the station, she was told the drive was no longer part of the SABC’s mid to long term plan. She was then offered the 4-7 am slot on Sundays, which she declined.

Wild conspiracy theories have been doing the rounds about Trevor Noah’s involvement in the wildly speculated introduction of COVID19 vaccine trials in South Africa.

And after an article appeared on News24, claiming that Bill Gates had been planning to roll out COVID19 vaccine trials in South Africa, the South African comedian has revealed that he’s received death threats.

On Sunday, News24 retracted the article with an apology to Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation for wrongfully reporting that Gates has intentions to test the vaccine in Africa.

On Saturday, we published a story about philanthropist Bill Gates’ support for SA with Covid-19. We wrongly reported that Gates wants to test a “vaccine” in Africa. This is false. The Gates Foundation will support SA with testing kits and research. We apologise for the mistake.
