Ngizwe Mchunu opens up about Ukhozi FM dismissal

Years after being fired from Ukhozi FM, it seems that Ngizwe Mchunu is ready to discuss the effects of his controversial exit.

The outspoken politician was dismissed from the popular radio station in 2018 after being accused of leaking private station information, and he claims that the axing cost him more than his loyal listeners.

ZiMoja reported that Ngizwe lost an estimated R5M in bookings and business, a loss that turned his life upside down:

"It affected me a lot. I was highly depressed."

His axing was followed by a series of run-ins with the law, including the famous July unrest, where he was accused of inciting violence.

Ahead of his appearance on Unfollowed, Mchunu spoke to Briefly News about his part in the unrest, in which he seemingly expressed remorse:

"I’ve done my part during the unrest, and I have learned my lesson."

Speaking on the episode, MultiChoice Connected Video's Katlego Molubi told the publication that it was one to watch:

"Ngizwe doesn’t hold back in this episode, offering an honest and unfiltered look into his personal and professional life, revealing the triumphs and struggles that have shaped him."
