Gagasi FM departure

Last week, Ntuli opened up about her departure from Gagasi FM after the station renewed contracts and announced the lineup for the new season.

Ntuli said she was given the opportunity to come back for the new season and she gladly accepted the new show until she was told that she would be getting paid R 2 800 p/m.

“Something not too far from what I was getting paid for the past two years. I felt disrespected, but I calmed down and went back to the management to ask them to review my salary.

“My manager, Ayanda Melansi, in the negotiations, suggested I consider other things rather than being on air; this also heavily killed my confidence,” she added in a lengthy statement.
