Reacting to the news, Nota admitted that the nerves hit him hard. However, the roars from the audience eased him, and he became excited. Nota explained the importance of catering for other genres.

"I was nervous until I heard those cheers. Made my night, here’s to your Tuesdays from the 3rd day of the 3rd month at 3 PM. There’s more to SA Music than Amapiano. Podcast with MacG is the new home of the Music Business Authority. I’m out of retirement!" he exclaimed.

This is what SA had to say:

@QunitonLeBron03 said:

"You are very good and knowledgeable, my GOAT. Your problem is that you like to be aggressive unnecessarily sometimes. We like you here in Turkey."

@MightiJamie said:

"Podcast and Chill Network just became the new DSTV. This is revolutionary and well-thought-out. I will ask Londy if she has any pictures of Hangwani."

"Wow. Hope they will stream live all current affairs from court cases, parliament, commissions, political rallies, university and TVET sports live as they happen."

@Muzi_Dinga exclaimed:

"Revolutionary! Even though there are too many pieces to move, they need that symbiotic element to their movement to make it work, but overall, a stern reminder to DSTV traditional media ought to make moves and acquaint themselves with streaming platforms/content creation."

@MLindubuhle exclaimed:

"He just cheated the game! So proud of this dude! He created an actual channel!"
