THE silenced iconic radio host is back on air.
The popular Lesedi FM presenter, Thuso Motaung, returned to radio on Thursday, 14 March, after weeks surrounded by an uncertain future in the radio industry.
It’s been almost three weeks since he’s been off the air, with rumours that the legendary presenter had been fired.
But the SABC denied that the presenter, known as Ntate Thuso, was fired.
On 22 February, they released a statement saying he'd be off air for two weeks.
His wife, Mamontha Motaung, the station's business manager, was also said to have been fired.

“The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) has noted with concern the incorrect reports in the media, which claim that veteran broadcaster Mr Thuso Motaung has been dismissed from Lesedi FM. The reports further claim that Mrs Mamontha Motaung is suspended or dismissed from the SABC.
“Mr Thuso Motaung has been temporarily unscheduled for operational reasons and will be back on his programme after two weeks. Mrs Mamontha Motaung is also not dismissed nor is she suspended as it has been falsely reported,” the statement read.
Skuzabell was holding the fort for the presenter for the past few days.
He is back hosting his show, Jwale Ke Nako, from 12.30pm to 3pm.
However, he didn’t address his absence.
Ntate Thuso is not hosting from the studios today.
He's co-hosting from Birchwood Hotel in Boksburg, Ekurhuleni.
