It’s always a cause for celebration when you land a new job, especially after a less-than-ideal situation. Former Gagasi FM presenter Penny Ntuli recently shared the exciting news of her new job on social media, just a week after revealing the shockingly low salary she received at the KwaZulu-Natal station.
A Shocking Revelation
Last week, Penny Ntuli found herself at the centre of a social media storm when she announced that she would not be renewing her contract with Gagasi FM. The reason? The station offered her a salary of just R2,800 per month, which is well below industry standards.
In a video shared on social media, Ntuli expressed her gratitude to the station but made it clear that the offered salary was not enough to sustain her life. She took up her concerns with management, only to be told to consider alternative roles instead of being on air.
Public Outrage and Accusations
Ntuli’s revelation sparked outrage among listeners and the public, with many accusing Gagasi FM of exploiting their radio talent. Social media users expressed their shock and disappointment, questioning the station’s treatment of its presenters.
Ntuli was not the only presenter to announce her resignation. Khaya Dladla and Hope Mbele also officially announced their departures, leaving fans wondering about the reasons behind their decisions.
Legal Action on the Horizon
In response to Ntuli’s public statement, Gagasi FM is reportedly considering legal action against her. The station’s business development head and spokesperson, Khulekani Shandu, stated that going public with such matters while still under contract is a breach of contract and may necessitate legal action.
While the situation between Ntuli and Gagasi FM unfolds, Ntuli has already set her sights on a new chapter in her career. She revealed that she has accepted a new job offer in Gauteng and expressed her excitement about getting back into broadcasting.
