Press Release

5FM apologises after skit on DJ Fresh’s show

5FM would like to apologise to those offended by the comments of traffic reporter and contributor Sol Phenduka on Sol Phenduka features on the Fresh or Vrot segment of the show, where he highlights news that was either “fresh” or “vrot” during the week.

In this morning’s show, Sol talked about the murders of the van Breda family who were hacked to death in Stellenbosch. The only survivor was 16 year old daughter Marli van Breda. Sol referred to her survival as “fresh” because she was the only person who can identify her killer.

His comments, which included him saying she was “ gorgeous” and that he would “like to axe her out,” but that he “wouldn’t  X her”, have been seen as insensitive, with social media accusing him of making jokes far too soon after such a tragic event.

Despite’s Sol’s apology on Twitter, 5FM management has decided to suspend both Sol as well as the show’s producer for three days. The station has also decided to pull the Fresh and Vrot feature completely from the show, effective immediately.

 “5FM Management considers this morning’s Fresh and Vrot Feature on Fresh@5 to be in utterly poor taste and would like to apologise unreservedly for these comments. 

The station has suspended two members of the team and has also decided to remove the Fresh and Vrot feature completely from the show, effective immediately.”

Yoh that was one of the most cringe worthy moments, when he went on about how gorgeous she is, it was so uncomfortable.
