Bonang Matheba may not have had the welcome she expected when she returned to MetroFM this week.
Matheba left the radio station after a very public spat with the SABC which allegedly instructed Matheba to terminate the contract she signed with SuperSport to present SuperSport World Cup Live show.
A month later SABC and Matheba appeared to have kissed and made-up with the public broadcaster releasing a statement saying that an agreement had been reached that will see Queen B soon rejoin the SABC to host ‘The Front Row’.
However since Queen B’s return there has been an unexpected backlash on twitter with listeners launching a campaign to #BringBackPhatJoe.
Phat Joe real name Majota Kambule had been a stand in replacement for Matheba since she left MetroFM.
This is what they had to say:
#BringBackPhatJoe #SwitchingOfTheRadio

Phat Joe rocks. I hope he knows just how much. Don't even listen to Metro but if I did I'd be on this #BringBackPhatJoe. You can't compete

Who would you rather listen to, Phat Joe or Queen B?
