SABC Responds to KG Moeketsi's SAFM Contract Termination Claims

• The SABC confirmed KG Moeketsi's contract termination following an internal process at SAFM
• Her daughter, Dineo Moeketsi, publicly defended her on 5 August 2026 after the veteran radio host's dismissal
• The broadcaster's statement did not address KG Moeketsi's specific allegations about the process or withheld payment

The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) has broken its silence on the dismissal of veteran radio host KG Moeketsi from SAFM, issuing a brief statement that stops short of addressing the specific concerns she raised.

KG Moeketsi's dismissal from SAFM

KG Moeketsi's contract came to an end on 15 July 2026, weeks after a significant technical failure occurred during one of her broadcasts. The broadcaster's decision followed an internal investigation into a listener complaint.

The dismissal drew widespread attention when actress Dineo Moeketsi stepped in to defend her mother on 5 August 2026, taking to social media to address the circumstances surrounding the firing. On X, she said:

SABC's statement leaves key questions unanswered

SABC spokesperson Mmoni Ngubane confirmed the termination to The Citizen, saying: "SAfm management can confirm that Ms Moeketsi's contract has been terminated following an internal process. The SABC will not comment or engage further on this matter. It's important to note that should Ms Moeketsi wish to appeal the decision, she has the right to do so."

While the SABC's response officially confirms what happened, it notably sidesteps the allegations KG Moeketsi raised regarding how the internal process was handled, the timeline of her dismissal, and concerns over withheld payment. The broadcaster offered no further details beyond confirming the termination and pointing to her right of appeal.

However, Mzansi continues to debate this scandal, offering a mix of reactions. Some people agreed that KG is a rude presenter. Whereas others wished her all the best in her fight.
