The move comes after the host got involved in a Twitter spat with political commentator Chris Vick about Williams’ testimony at the state capture inquiry.
Vick questioned Tabane’s reaction to Williams’ testimony.
Williams had claimed she faced ill-treatment by her former boss Muthambi, and Tabane tweeted: “Faith Muthambi … this is a horror story.”
Vick then responded by saying: “but you used to work for #faithmuthambi when she was communications minister, bro. Didn’t you set up that huge advisory panel for her (the one I resigned from) and write those ridiculous opinion pieces in her name? Weren’t you advising her? #StateCaptureInquiry @Powerfm987.”
Tabane was suspended two weeks ago, after he was afforded an “opportunity to appraise [sic] the station about the veracity of the allegations which were raised within the context of the ongoing debate around State Capture, linking him to alleged improper conduct emanating from his association with former minister Faith Muthambi”.
The station said at the time that Tabane had dedicated the introduction of his show to his personal matters, which included extending an apology to Williams for his conduct.
