Tbo Touch revealed that Fired FM, the dream radio station project with Robert Marawa, DJ Fresh, and DJ Sbu, never launched because Marawa decided to pursue another job offer.
In a video shared on X, Tbo explained that even though they had secured a major telecommunications company as an investor, Marawa opted for a more immediate career opportunity.
Some fans were disappointed, criticizing the team for not sticking it out and pushing through with their ambitious venture.

Let me tell you something, folks. Tbo Touch, one of the most respected voices in South African broadcasting, recently opened up about a project that never saw the light of day—Fired FM.

What Really Happened with Fired FM?

Alright, so here's the deal. Tbo Touch sat down for an interview, and he spilled the beans on why Fired FM never came to life. This wasn't just some half-baked idea—it was a legit project involving some of the biggest names in South African radio. But as we all know, even the best-laid plans can go sideways.

In a video shared on X by @ThisIsColbert, Tbo touched on the reasons why Fired FM didn't take off. He was a guest on L-Tido's podcast, and during the conversation, he revealed that they had a top telecommunications company ready to invest in their station. But then, life threw them a curveball. Robert Marawa, one of the key players, got an offer he couldn't refuse. And when push came to shove, he decided to take that opportunity instead of sticking with the radio station idea.
