Find Out How Much Tbo Touch Earned At Metro FM….
Thabo ‘Tbo Touch’ Molefe recently resigned from the SABC, just over 11 years after joining the public broadcaster and has revealed, that he resigned over an issue of principle. He says that because the SABC refused to deny reports that he’d been suspended for a week because he didn’t want to read a Hyundai advert “he couldn’t work at the SABC”, reports said.
It’s no secret that Tbo Touch left Metro FM at his peak. The radio personality, who now owns his own radio station, Touch Central FM, had a huge following on the radio station.
After 12 years with the SABC station, Touch shocked the nation when his resignation letter was leaked a few weeks ago.
“No one has ever left at their prime, if you look at where I was,” he said in a recent interview on Kaya FM.
“When you look at where I was, you know, what I’ve done… you don’t make that kinda decision when you’re earning the biggest cheque in the building, and you’re saying ‘I’m out’ out of principle,” Touch told T-Bose Mokwele on The Best T in The City.
He said there’s ways he can teach his two sons about principles in life if he’s not going to set an example for them.
He then revealed that he went from earning R4200 a month, to earning about R200 000 a month when he left the station. “It was nice, it was a nice cheque,” he added.
A few weeks after resigning from one of the biggest radio stations in South Africa, Metro FM, Tbo Touch announced that he will be launching his own record label and entertainment company.
