Taung- Vaaltar Fm is one of leading community radio stations in South Africa. And the station is based at Lesedi Corporation Buildings in Taung CBD.
The station has suspended their Breakfast show host Tshokollo “MrTM” Maine. According to our mole at the station, the Top Dj was suspended yesterday for late coming.
Mr TM allegedly arrived two hours late for his show yesterday and he was put in the cold.
Our crew received few calls from concerned listeners who wanted to know what’s really transpires at the station.
We contacted the station for any clarity on the matter.
We spoke to an acting Programme Manager and Head of News Amogelang Matuane.
“I am suprised because we haven’t received any calls from so-called concerned listeners. Maybe your newspaper is a shareholder at Vaaltar Fm because our listeners know our numbers” she said angrily.
“Mr TM arrived late yesterday and according to his statement he woke up late. And on this issue I do not want to comment further” Matuane yelled.
Our crew next stop was the Dj himself to get his side of story and refutes all that statement.
“I do not want to say much on that issue as the relevant people to talk to, is the Station Management. I cannot deny nor agree regarding my suspension” Mr TM as he is affectionately known to his fans said.
According to information we received the Dj was also suspendedd back in July for unknown reasons.
“We were engaged in a meeting a hour ago and i received your messages.I really want to know who leaked the story or who are those listeners” Amogelang said.
Our crew explained to her that whether she knows those listeners or not is not much of importance as we only wanted a clarification regarding unsolved issues hovering the station.
If our mole information is anything to go by, Tokollo “Mr TM” Maine is bound to be expelled.
Only time will tell,so keep captivated to your favourite newspaper.

I think the so called station management should go back to the management consultation workshop to get their behaviour and anger management channelled. You cannot expect the person to be perfect everytime, as we all are human. It has been said: “To err is human” what does this really mean Mr manager, Tshepiso Motlogeloa. Being a manager does not mean you hire and fire as you like. You make consultations before taking decisions, as per the Labour Relations Act. Mistakes are tolerated and rectified without punishing anybody as per their mistakes committed. The guy is the best around your establishment and has made the station popular through his interactive commitment to Listeners.
Maybe we should Quit with him and you will listen to your station, if it belongs to you alone and if our opinions do not count. He is the reason we listen to Vaaltar. He is blameless broer, get him his job back or We quit!!!!

I had an opportunity to listen to Mr TM, I honestly think he is one of the gifted DJs in the country, he truly electrifies the airwaves. He is one of the DJ’s who I think goes to work prepared, he doesn’t patronize nor insult the listeners’ intelligence by providing them with a thumb-sucking information. But if the reports are right that he has a tendency of going to work late, I sincerely think that he deserves corrective punishment but not a punitive one.
