Tepid return to Twitter
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, but that may not be the case with Metro FM's Unathi Msengana if Twitter is anything to go by. The radio presenter and Idols SA judge received a lukewarm welcome on social media yesterday following a five-week absence after she was taken off air over a Twitter tirade in August.Msengana was suspended days after she allegedly criticised a student on the social media platform in reaction to a tweet.Msengana had expressed her opinion on the language policy at Stellenbosch University.Listeners yesterday took to Twitter to talk about the presenter's return:@colleenchifamba: "Yaaay Unathi is back on air at Metro FM. First Avenue wasn't the same without her."@1NtandoZAR:" I switched on to Metro FM this morning only to hear Unathi's voice. I am now listening to @Yfm."..
