All the love for DJ Fresh and his new 947 gig: 'We go wherever you are'
Social media was abuzz on Monday with congratulatory messages, following the news that veteran broadcaster DJ Fresh would be joining the lineup on 947.
Fresh, who was recently fired from Metro FM, will be hosting the drive time show, come August 1.
He announced the news in a video produced to introduce the new slot.
Fresh was suspended in June for his use of foul language in response to a listener live on air.
The public broadcaster then made the announcement that it was terminating his contract a month later.
Among those congratulating Fresh were celebrities and fans, including Bonang Matheba, Khanyi Mbau, Kuli Roberts and Hulisani Ravele.
Here is a snapshot of some of the reactions:
We go wherever you are. Hello @947 we are HERE!!!!!!!!!!! ๐ฅ๐พ๐ฅ๐พ๐ฅ https://t.co/RGAeECLHVn
