Newzroom Afrika has suspended its show 'Your View' following disparaging comments made of the people of the Limpopo province by anchor Onkgopotse JJ Tabane.

you said a lot of things that are wrong and unprofessional. I can’t believe this. Ask yourself why free state refused the quarantine? Yes it’s a massive crisis but is this province ready for the quarantine? I find your statements very irresponsible 🚮.@ClaysonMonyela: "My brother & friend @JJTabane, I'm assuming the statement that the people of Limpopo are witchcraft specialists was said in jest. It's still offensive...

"Respect for the cultures of all South Africans is at the core of these values and Tabane's comments violated them. They were offensive and disrespectful and he has acknowledged this and apologised on his personal Twitter account.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

Never liked his tone! He's too emotional

who did not see that JJ was just saying that in Jest. aybo umbedo wodwa lo. they might as well fire him as everyday he say something that might offend someone somewhere. Thats just the nature of his rants

I was attracted to Newzroom405 because of this JJTabane guy. He must be at least given a warning and be compelled to publicly apologize but not be fired. His spirit and frank talk must never be demoralized.

He was doing great until he became big headed. That’s always the case, he is not alone in this. I will miss his informative show.

Y'all act like like this is not a national boloyi joke. It's nothing new, we been hearing it. Accept his apology and resume the show.

He must never come back

I heared him talking about ANC youth league that they need to be quarantined......yes he is very careless News Anchor

'JJ's View' not 'your view '...le domonyana jwang 🙄🙄

He insulted Pres Zuma and no action was taken so he thought he could push harder...No wonder they remove informative ANN7 so that they can have clowns like this telling us we are good for only witchcraft,kujola 99,dating my family,isithembu not land and economic redistribution

Mr. Tell-it-Like-It-is Tabane 😂 uitseng nou?

He is an Limpopo man.

Why are people so fucking pathetically sensitive? Says a lot about the people who found his comments offensive.
