Glen Lewis' departure from Metro FM comes just days after Sunday Sun reported that Metro FM listeners could expect a major reshuffle at the station. The paper claimed that Somizi would be joining the morning show, while Unathi was set to join Khanyi Mbau and Ntombi Ngcobo-Mzolo in the mid-morning slot.
The SABC has not yet commented on the changes.
