"If Sol is suspended, I say podcast is the new radio, so I see it as a blessing in disguise."

@VastandInfinite commented:

"I think we also need to acknowledge that Sol is the first person to do podcasting and radio simultaneously. He proved to everyone that it's not impossible, and he succeeded. It's one for the books."

"Today's show really shows ukuthi kuyahlekwa noba kubhujiwe. Some things are out of our control, and we just have to take each day as it comes. Sol is destined for greater things. Rooting for you Phenduka! 😇"

@NkhumeleniMarubini said:

"Kaya FM doesn't know we started listening to them because of Sol. I didn't even care about the station before Sol."

@BlackRose-rk7zs said:

"Sol not showing any sign of blame on MacG for his suspension is top-tier loyalty. MacG has always known how fortunate he is to have Sol, but I hope this moment opens his eyes even further, if that is even possible. One can only wish to have a friend like Sol." ❤
