Cape Town – Radio DJ and TV presenter Darren Scott admitted to being drunk when he called a colleague the k-word, but said it is not the reason he quit.
Scott resigned as presenter on Jacaranda 94.2 and took unpaid leave from SuperSport, but says he did not resign at SuperSport.
Jacaranda 94.2 spokesperson Jenny Griesel confirmed Scott's resignation, reports SAPA.
"I was not asked to resign. The radio station protected itself. I resigned for different reasons. I hate myself for using the k-word," Scott said on Thursday in an interview with Talk Radio 702's John Robbie.
According to Beeld, the tongue-lashing began at a bar at the Mabula Lodge near Bela-Bela (Warmbad) where Jacaranda 94.2 held its annual team-building event.
Africa Tshoaedi reportedly borrowed money from Scott and didn't repay him. According to Scott, Tshoaedi has since bought a house and a car.
I don't see myself as a racist
Scott alleges that Tshoaedi provoked him.
"I exploded and a racist word came out that shouldn't have. My resignation has nothing to do with the man. I hate myself for using the word, because I don't see myself as a racist."
Scott said that Tshoaedi accepted his apology.
"I immediately apologised to the person and left matters in the station's hands to sort out," Scott said.
The presenters Peter Davies and Neil Andrews will now take over Scott’s SuperSport duties for the World Cup.
SuperSport spokesperson Clinton van der Berg said it is not clear yet when Scott will appear on television again.
