"Mpho Popps needs to leave that network. Macg is too reckless with his mouth for a boss/leader of the network. This was bound to happen. It was only a matter of time."

@yangamessi replied:

"We all know it’s because of that Minnie Dlamini comments he made."

"One thing about MacG, he doesn’t need them."

@globalfacon said:

"Good news. The podcast is more vibrant on YouTube and more influential God is good to MacG."

@Mahlal_eshushu replied:

"I'm busy calling Multichoice to cancel my subscription with those hooligans."

@zulukingdom77 replied:

"MacG should have been more careful or at least be quick to issue a statement to apologize."

@TheRoyalVisions said:

"DSTV’s arrogance and its inability to innovate will be its brutal downfall. He apologised and even invited Minnie to his podcast but then I guess v*gana is more powerful than Podcast and Chill."

"Just to be clear, he went to DSTV and begged them to showcase his show. The fact that they ended the contract means they don't need him! His minions must not get it twisted."
