The SABC has eliminated Phiwe “Pastor The DJ” Nozewu, host of the Umhlobo Wenene breakfast show, expressed her “joy” on Twitter regarding a confrontation between an EFF supporter who was assaulted in Brackenfell, Cape Town, and local residents.

The public broadcaster announced its decision on Twitter Thursday after the EFF called for the removal of Nozewu.

“The SABC can confirm that Mr. Phiwe Nozewu is not scheduled on Umhlobo Wenene FM by the station’s management following his public statements on Twitter regarding a violent incident that took place in Cape Town. The SABC takes this matter seriously and therefore has not scheduled Mr. Nozewu until further notice for discrediting the organization, ”he wrote in two separate tweets.

On Wednesday, the EFF issued a statement on Twitter calling for the SABC to remove Nozewu for her “self-hating comments endorsing public violence and the assault of a black woman outside of Brackenfell High School.”
