Radio host Samora Mangesi denies rumour he was pulled off air for being drunk

 Many listeners questioned the media personality's state after his broadcast of Iqonga Labatsha, often known as #IQL, on April 9, 2022.

Following the broadcast, Mangesi took to Facebook to address the "unfortunate and nasty" remarks he saw.He claimed that he remained mute to give the appropriate stakeholders time to fix the issue before

speaking up.                  In his lengthy article, Mangesirefuted the claim that he was inebriated, explaining that he had been feeling under the weather and was taking medication. He made the mistake of taking extra medication in order to fulfill his tasks at Umhlobo Wenene.

"I added more medication and took it more frequently because I was determined to keep my date with the loyal listeners of IQL and Umhlobo Wenene FM, which, in retrospect, was a mistake. "This rendered me incoherent, and as a result, I delivered an incredibly untidy and subpar product on TV, leading many to believe I was inebriated."
