Mantsoe lost her job at 947 due to no fault of her own after DJ Fresh was let go from the station following rape allegations levelled against him.

Her exit from the station was confirmed in a statement by Primedia that claimed to be “bidding farewell” to Pout as part of changes to the drive show.

For months, Pout refrained from making public statements about the allegations against her colleague, much to the displeasure of social media users.
