The DJ was unscheduled and later terminated from METRO FM after an "unfortunate choice of words" were said on air in June.
According to a statement released by the SABC spokesperson, Vuyo Mthembu, "The termination follows unsuccessful engagements between SABC Radio Management and DJ Fresh, after his usage of offensive language on-air."
