Another month, another Kaya 959 scandal. The station was recovering from the speculation that Dineo Ranaka was “bullying” Sol Phenduka on Kaya 959 Breakfast with Dineo and Sol. Sizwe Dhlomo returns to the radio station, making headlines.
Dhlomo often makes headlines about his station coworkers. He is suspected of forcing Unathi Nkayi out of the station last year. Nkayi initially claimed Dhlomo was hostile to her. Dhlomo countered with receipts that portrayed Nkayi as the aggressor, which bit her in the end.
Following Sibongile Mtyali’s dismissal from Kaya 959. Dhlomo is at the center of the current drama because Mtyali may have been fired for her handling of his dispute with sports commentator and host Mpho Maboi.
Basically, station manager refusing to fire Mpho after Sizwe reported Mpho to the board for late coming. Here’s a snippet pic.twitter.com/jjHQ3ifmeE

Sizwe Dhlomo on Kaya’s Mpho Maboi and Sibongile drama
In light of the reports confirming the dismissal of Sibongile Mtyali and the legal action she is believed to be taking to have her dismissal reserved. The news articles had suggested that she was fired over her handling of the disagreement between two on-air radio personalities.
Not one to shy away from issues, Sizwe Dhlomo took to Twitter to address the matter head on with a detailed thread about what exactly happened between himself and Mpho Maboi. Detailing his issues with Maboi’s tardiness. Dhlomo started the thread by explaining that:
“Okay, let’s correct some inaccuracies… We had a great sports person in Sandile Van Heerden. Amazing guy who always pitched in with the rest of the team we had built to contribute to the rest of the show & station.”
Our show meeting starts at 13:00. It’s something I instituted when I first got to Kaya. Everyone attends & if you aren’t in the building at the time, you can do so virtually. No problem.

So I spoke to her twice (on record) & when she continued, I went to her manager for him to address it. She then skipped her manager & called Sbo instead. I then asked why did you remove a person who obviously could deliver for someone who couldn’t?

The following day, HR then tried to send me an email telling me that our show meeting should be moved to accommodate Mpho & that I should no longer be involved in the music department as I had always been. That I shouldn’t be at work from midday anyway. Lol!

Maboi, despite Dhlomo’s quick hand seems to not only be late at work. But the sports personality is also late when it comes to defending herself. This is as she has yet to put out her side of the story, which took Dhlomo all but minutes after the story broke.
Is Sizwe a snitch?
Considering that this is not Sizwe Dhlomo’s first rodeo in drama which results in the dismissal of someone at the end of it all. Besides sipping on the hot tea about Sibongile Mtyali’s dismissal, tweeps are more concerned about whether or not Dhlomo is a snitch.
This is as it is believed that it was Dhlomo who reported Mtyali to her higher ups, possibly suggesting that she had not taken his concerns seriously. More so considering that Dhlomo in the past has affirmed that he did not need to apply for the job as he was headhunted by Kaya 959 through the assistance of what was his former friend, Unathi Nkayi. As such, tweeps cannot help but wonder whether or not Dhlomo is a snitch ready to get those he does not get along with fired…
Sizwe snitch on colleagues to the board. So on brand
