The news has sparked a heated debate online, with many questioning the fairness of the suspensions. Social media users quickly pointed out past instances where other presenters openly supported political parties without facing any repercussions.
For instance, @boowa7 remarked, “But it’s unfair, DJ Sbu and other presenters used to campaign for the ANC and they were never suspended.”
As the discussions continue, more users are voicing their opinions. @umaster_sandz speculated, “Had the ANC won the elections outright, there wouldn’t be suspensions.”
Meanwhile, @gowjas commented, “Was Tbo Touch suspended for supporting that party on the Podcast and Chill?” The sentiment seems to be that the suspensions are either politically motivated or indicative of a double standard within Metro FM’s policies.

This situation raises important questions about the relationship between media personalities and political affiliations. @koketsomash summed it up by saying, “As a brand and entrepreneur, you can’t affiliate with politics, all EFF, MK etc. fans and listeners; how do they feel about these people.”
The implications of these suspensions could have far-reaching effects on how media personalities engage with political matters in the future.
