Tbo Touch speaks on getting fired from Soweto TV

Tbo Touch has finally responded to claims that he was fired from Soweto TV. Few weeks ago, the star was trending on Twitter after he was reportedly accused of underpaying employees.

Touch, who has been reinstated to his position, revealed that he has decided to leave the channel at the end of May this year. Well, Tbo has come out to slam those carrying fake news around as he claimed the documents were “fraudulently fabricated for destructive purposes”.

He revealed that the matter is now with the commercial claims court.

Tbo also said when the new board took over in 2019, the channel was over R19.7 million in debt.

Touch explained that they could have retrenched staff but “opted for a 7%- 11% salary decrease”.

“The current board helped to reduce the amount by half. TV add spend dropped significantly in 2020.”
