Marawa back on air

Metro FM confirmed yesterday, Thursday, 28 June 2007, that Sports Centre host Robert Marawa had returned to the airwaves. Marawa has been off the air since Monday 18 June while internal discussions around his adherence to the SABC's editorial policies were being held.

Bob Mabena, GM of the SABC Public Commercial Radio division said in a statement issued to the press, “The details of these discussions are between Robert Marawa and ourselves, but suffice to say we are happy that the issues have been resolved as we believe Robert has a valuable role to play in Metro FM's continued success.”

Mabena reiterated that contrary to media reports, Marawa was not dismissed, “nor were the transgressions of our policies directly related to who he did and did not interview during his treatment of the PSL/SABC issue.”

Marawa has since resumed his show “The Discovery Sports Centre” from 6pm – 7pm on Metro FM.
