"I'd like to know if @947 are ok with employing someone who openly praises a man who incites violence against a minority ethnic group. If they are, then I'd like them to remove any of my music from their station."

Dhlomo caught wind of the tweet and told the muso, "Good luck" because the radio station had many other songs to play.

"The irony is that Siz is a farmer himself, or according to them, only whites/Afrikaners are farmers?"

@AbednegoChauke

"But imagine if Kiffness would like or post anything with suspected racism. You would support the stations to pull his music. You’re being hypocrite Siz."

@segodithomas said:

"I am hoping you have pulled off this guy's music as requested. It must not be played until the dust settled or come to an understanding with him. "please call me saga" should teach leadership to be proactive than reactive."
