Is Khaya Dladla's Gagasi FM salary to blame?

The TV and radio personality's departure sparked a major debate online. Since the news made waves, the radio station topped the trends list.

Many people can't help but assume that Khaya Dladla was in a similar situation as Penny Ntuli. The personality resigned from the radio station after being offered a salary of R2800.

Penny clarified that this salary offer was a downgrade from what she used to earn, but it was not much.

Speaking to Briefly News, Khaya mentioned that he read a book written by two previous employees at the station, which further fueled his decision.

"Two former colleagues of Gagasi, Mkhosi Khoza (a seasoned radio personality and content specialist) and Nerissa Maharaj, wrote a book after they left Gagasi FM. When I read the because, a lot of things made sense as to why the station is where it."
