Nota Baloyi urges Sol Phenduka to sue Kaya FM

Reacting to the news that Sol Phenduka was fired, Baloyi suggested that the Podcast and Chill co-host should take Kaya FM to court.

Nota advised Sol Phenduka and MacG to take legal action against Kaya FM and the station’s owner in his personal capacity for defamation. The post was captioned:

“Sol Phenduka and MacG must sue Kaya FM. Simple and plain. This is a defamatory smear campaign. You can never under our constitution be held accountable for someone else’s statements. Not a chance. They must sue David Tiltmann in his personal capacity as well!”

@Mthuli4 said:

“Let him sue, as long as he is fired for seeing nothing wrong with disrespecting women, I am happy.”

@sipsboii advised:

“They must never make that mistake to sue Kaya FM, they must learn from sis Unathi 🤷‍♂️”

@Zani_Baccaria suggested:

“Sol must also sue Minnie for suing him for something he didn't do, which resulted in losing his job.”

@Mgwezan_ said:

“Lol, you are being sued by Shimza, and you failed to win the case against him. What makes you think Sol and Mac will win against Kaya? You are the last person to talk about legal battles.”

@katleho5149670 argued:

“What grounds does Sol stand on 'bro'? He may not have said something offensive, but he participated very much and even added a laugh there! Study the law, South Africans and start paying attention to reading more than assuming!”

Effects of external pressure after losing a job

Speaking to Briefly News, psychologist Paula Quinsee shared the effects of external pressure following a job dismissal.

Quinsee shared that while being publicly dismissed can create fears of rejection and humiliation, getting unsolicited advice can create more turmoil.

"A public dismissal can cause one to have deep fears of rejection and humiliation. Top this with legal advice or public scrutiny and individuals may feel paralysed between protecting their reputation and staying aligned with their personal values," she said.

She said the external advice can cloud one's judgement, which can lead to defensive reactions rather than well-thought out decisions.

"This pressure and strain can impact one’s decision-making causing reactive and defensive decisions rather than decisions that are thought through in a logical manner weighing up the choices and options available to them and what is in their best interests," Paula Quinsee explained.
