Radio Africa set to sue shaffie Weru for Sh 150 Million due to negligence and breach of contract.
This follows in appropriate and insensitive comments made by the Homeboyz presenter on air regarding an incident where a woman was thrown off the 12th floor of a building for rejecting sexual advances.
Radio Africa stated its intention to sue the former Homboyz presenter in its response to a letter from shaffie’s weru lawyers.
The presenter lawyers had written a demand letter to Radio Africa on March 30 threatening to sue for unfair and unlawful termination.
The company took a massive hit on its revenue after EABL publicly stated on March that it was pausing all forms of advertising on radio Africa programs.
Radio Africa has issued prior statements saying that the company does not condone gender-based violence, sexual assault, victim shaming, emotional and verbal abuse.
The media council on March 28 said it has taken note of actions taken by the Homeboyz management on the presenters and commended the company for taking action.
The communications authority fined the station a 1Million, suspended the lift breakfast show for six months ordered the station to apologize and train their staff on gender sensitivity.
