Following allegations of being on air drunk, Umhlobo Wenene’s DJ Samora Mangesi was subsequently pulled off the show and suspended.

"This rendered me incoherent and thus delivering an extremely messy and substandard product on air which led many to believe I was intoxicated. Again, for this I humbly apologise. It has never been and continues to not be my intention to bring the SABC – which I have been with for the past 10 years, my family, myself and anybody else associated with me – into disrepute, be it intentionally or unintentionally,” he wrote on his page.

Samora has since promised his listeners that he will be back on May 7, pending the results of the investigation which will be discussed with him, according to the SABC management. He further wrote: “I have been engaging with my superiors at Umhlobo Wenene and have provided them with the necessary documentation to support the above to which they have accepted. I would like to thank them and my colleagues at the station and far beyond even the realms of radio for the support and understanding that they have afforded me.

"I’d also like to thank my friends and those who may only know me from the airwaves who reached out and offered messages of support during what was an absolute whirlwind. Most importantly, I’d like to thank my mom who travelled across the country to come and nurse me back to health .”
