Somizi Mhlongo has made a big comeback on Metro FM.
As the new radio line-up changes have been announced, it was revealed that Somizi will be joining Metro FM's 9am-12pm The Bridge alongside Quinton “Naked DJ” Masina and new host Khutso Theledi.
The media personality will also be hosting the The Weekend Breakfast Sounds Good with Mat Elle between 6 and 9am.
Somizi's return comes after he stepped away from the mic when meeting with his Metro FM bosses in August 2021, requesting time off amid claims he allegedly abused his “estranged” husband Mohale Motaung.
“The SABC can confirm Metro FM management met with Mr Somizi Mhlongo and he has requested to take some time off from work. Management has granted Mr Mhlongo permission to do so,” read a statement from the SABC.
Sharing the news with his followers, the Idols SA judge took to his timeline posting the station's new line-up press release.
