CONTROVERSIAL Hot FM’s popular Breakfast Show host, Mutale Mwanza, has been fired.
According to a dismissal letter signed by Hot FM Chief Executive Officer Oscar Chavula, dated February 24, 2021, Ms. Mwanza has been fired over conflicts between the station values and those of her own brand over which she is reported to have been warned.
“Dear Ms. Mwanza, it is with profound regret that I must inform you that management has decided to terminate your employment with Hot FM with immediate effect. We find your brand to be seriously in conflict with the Hot FM brand and values and can no longer allow this trend to continue.
“Your latest antics are, in our view, highly disrespectful, unprovoked and unconscionable considering that they were targeted at an elderly national leader. It literally amounts to cyber bullying and we do not condone such in our values and principles.
“We believe we have cautioned you enough in the last few months regarding your public conduct and warned you against dragging our brand and company down to your level.
Time has come to part company with you and we wish you well in your future endeavors,”reads the letter in part.
