DJ Sbu Shocks Fans With U-Turn On Radio 2000 Resignation!

DJ Sbu is staying put at Radio 2000—just days after announcing his exit! The veteran broadcaster, whose real name is Sibusiso Leope, took to X (formerly Twitter) to reveal that he has signed on for another 12 months, despite previously saying he was moving to a new platform.

From Goodbye to “I’m Staying!” – DJ Sbu’s Confusing Exit

Last week, DJ Sbu told fans that he was leaving Radio 2000 ahead of his contract’s March 30, 2025 expiration. He even revealed plans for a brand-new breakfast show launching on April 1.

“I have made the decision to resign as a morning radio host at Radio 2000… This new opportunity presents a fresh chapter in my career,” DJ Sbu wrote.

Now, in a dramatic twist, DJ Sbu has confirmed he’s not leaving after all, saying:

“I am pleased to let you know that I will be staying with @Radio2000_ZA, having concluded an agreement for another 12 months. Keep your ears tuned in to the Big Breakfast, weekdays 6-9 am.”

However, he did not explain what happened to the new show he had planned.

Mzansi took to social media with mixed emotions—some celebrating, others questioning his “flip-flopping”.

@MokwadiMo – “Good news. I wasn’t going to listen to R2000 without you. Thanks, Sbuda!”

@neo_tebogo – “One moment you resigned, the next you’re staying. We’re too old for this drama!”

@Calvin_TRG – “Jeez, you love drama, and it’s all pointless. Lost respect for you a long time ago.”

@UselessCyril – “I was hoping Planet Haaibo would come back. Now I’m disappointed.”

@SiphoPhendu – “Who cares? I left that show the day you joined.”

What’s Really Going On?

While DJ Sbu hasn’t shared why he changed his mind, industry insiders suspect that negotiations behind the scenes played a role. Some believe his new platform deal fell through, while others think Radio 2000 offered him a better package to stay.

Either way, the Big Breakfast Show continues—but was all this just a PR stunt?

What do you think about DJ Sbu’s back-and-forth decision? Genius move or just unnecessary drama?
