Vuma FM has set the record straight on Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma's departure from the station.
After weeks of speculation surrounding her departure, with some claiming she was “dismissed” due to her links with the March in March movement in Durban, where protesters were demanding illegal immigrants leave the country, Vuma FM said her contract with the station had ended.
“The recent decision made by Vuma FM not to renew Ngobese-Zuma's contract as presenter at Vuma FM is not a dismissal but a natural conclusion of an independent contractor's term,” it said.
“All our presenter contracts are subject to annual renewal at the station's discretion, a standard practice in our industry. Vuma FM made the line-up changes based on internal, annual evaluation and not influenced by any external party.
“We would like to thank Ngobese-Zuma for her contribution to the station and wish her well in the future.”
