5FM DJ Expresses Rage Over Hlaudi Who Almost Destroyed SABC

5FM DJ Rob Forbes has expressed his views in concern to Hlaudi for allegedly almost costing entire SABC workers their jobs.

“Hlaudi belongs in prison. He created an environment so toxic a journalist died from the stress. He bankrupted an organisation. He’s about to cost thousands of people a livelihood.”

Rob explained that Hlaudi’s 90 percent local music quota instituted in 2016, “broke” the SABC and led to a mass exodus of advertisers and audiences. An SABC interim board later claimed that the decision cost the broadcaster R200m.

“We who were here know. Audiences disappeared overnight. Advertisers left. Because you know what, turns out you can’t dictate to audiences. You have to reflect to audiences. That’s an absolute basic. But he’s too incompetent to know that,” Rob said.

Rob slammed the policy and said it interfered with how radio should work.
“Radio’s job has never been to develop artist’s careers. It’s not PR. It’s a business. True story.” he added.
