Primedia release DJ Fresh and Euphonik from their contracts

Well, known media personalities Thato ‘DJ Fresh’ Sikwane and Themba ‘Euphonik’ Nkosi have been released by Primedia from their contracts with immediate effect, the media company confirmed in a statement on Wednesday night, 10 February.

This decision follows rape accusations leveled against the DJ duo by a woman who tweeted that the DJ duo allegedly drugged and raped her in 2011.

@DJFreshSA & @euphonik will you ever acknowledge drunking me & further raping me? I was completed drugged I don't whether you BOTH raped me or 1 of you did & you later laughed about it the next morning saying we (me & 3 girls) were so drunk we kept blacking out but nasidlwengula

“This decision does not reflect a view on the veracity of any allegations against either Euphonik or Fresh. Rather, it prioritises Primedia Broadcasting’s business imperatives. We believe that this decision is in the best interest of our company and our various stakeholders,” Crwys-Williams said.

Following the accusations on social media, Gauteng police confirmed that a case of rape at Sunnyside police station was opened on January, 13 against the DJ duo.

Last year Ntsiki Mazwai also leveled allegations of rape against DJ Fresh but was forced to remove all social media posts relating to the allegation, following an injunction pursued by DJ Fresh which concluded in its Judgement, that Mazwayi Mazwai didn’t have enough evidence to back her claims
