Social media users react to the latest lineup

@cedmab said:

"Was @Tessa_Dooms deemed too cerebral for us? Considering when we started, it was to banish any notion that being a "kleva black" is something bad? That we use facts, science, and research to debunk spectacle? Maybe it is about the bottom line and ratings, but sad to see her go."

@modiba_vusi responded:

"But seriously, I'm surprised. There was a fresh lineup last year mid-September 2025. Boom!!! new lineup announcement again in February 2026. What's going on?"

@PrincessSkhu wrote:

"I hope Lerato does well; acting is so unstable. Collen was a great speaker in COJ. I believe with some help, she could do well here."

@Lebohang5214 said:

"If Mondli spoke as well as he writes, it would have been a scoop...but that's not the case; he sounds like he has a speech impediment and is horrible to listen to."

@FredBrito10 responded:

"Looks like Given is running this station like a spaza shop, chop and changing of presenters, o kare (it's like) community radio."

@kabelo_Pitori commented:

"As long as you don't touch TT and Thabiso (with an extra O), it's fine, you can do the changes! We want JJ back, though, or maybe get back Faith Mangope."

@MySeasonHD responded:

"Tatana Mkhari, this innovation gives nostalgia on how you co-founded Turf FM when we were students there in the early 90's. To you and Management, we say, Power."

@MelusiMk replied:

"Lerato Mvelase ma crashhh oh."

"Looking forward to hearing Mondli Makhanya's wits."
