Hot FM radio has fired RADIO personality and breakfast show presenter Mutale Mwanza with immediate effect.
The dismissal letter from the CEO Oscar Chavula reads:
Dear Ms Mwanza,
It is with profound regret that I must inform you that management has decided to terminate your employment with Hot FM with immediate effect.
We find your brand to be seriously in conflict with the Hot FM brand and values and can no longer allow this trend to continue.
Your latest antics are, in our view, highly disrespectful, unprovoked and unconscionable considering that they were targeted at an elderly national leader. It literally amounts to cyberbullying and we do not condone such in our values and principles.
We believe we have cautioned you enough in the last few months regarding your public conduct and warned you against dragging our brand and company down to your level.
Time has come to part company with you and we wish you well in your future endeavours.
Regards
Oscar Chavula.

The singer celebrated his new growth on the most popular social platform in the world. He thanked his fans for the support.

Zambian Reggae recording artist, Petersen Zagaze is truly giving Macky 2 his flowers while he can still see and smell them.
The singer revealed on Facebook that Macky 2 directed, shot and edited his ‘Oh No’ video back in 2005.
“Did you know that MK Macky2 directed, shot and edited this video in 2006 (Chingola).” He wrote alongside the official ‘Oh No’ video.
“How many things had Macky 2 done for me for free?” He raved.
Petersen concluded his post by noting that he owes his brother (Macky 2) too much.
Macky 2 says he has struggled with depression and anxiety for years. Today the singer opened up about his struggles for the first time.
“I haven’t told too many people about it and the few that I have told tend to ask questions like “Why are you depressed?.. Depression isn’t a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather.” He wrote on Facebook.
Macky2 further explained more details about the difference between depression and sadness.
“It is so difficult to describe depression to someone who’s never been there because it’s not typical sadness, I know sadness. In Fact, my life was once full of it. But this is different. Being sad and being depressed are two different things. Also, people going through depression don’t look so, while someone sad will look sad.”
Fans and other artists have thanked Macky2 for speaking up and sharing his experience with depression and anxiety. Something very few people do, especially in countries like Zambia.
B Flow responded by saying, “Thank You for being honest with yourself and with all of us. You know I’m available 24//7 if you need someone to talk to because a problem shared is a problem halved. Love you, bro.”

Yesterday the superstar Roberto had a Q & A session on his Facebook page. The singer hosted the session on his Facebook where fans asked questions in the comment section and he responded to them. Below are some of the questions Roberto answered.
Have you ever felt like giving up on music at some point? If yes then how did you overcome that feeling?
It is something that most artists face. I felt that way at the beginning of last year. But here I am, self-drive and confidence is what you need. Hence, I really don’t tolerate people who come to me and say MAKE ME AS WELL. Cause every day I fight to be better than I was yesterday, by myself.
How do you meet up with international artists?
Via different means actually, some we meet in person. Others I’m introduced to via business associates, others we connect via social media.
I heard that general Ozzy is your brother is that correct?
Yes, he is my brother.
I remember last time you asked us about which artist between Khaligraph Jonez or Diamond Platnumz we would love to see you collaborate with, how far with the program?
Tekanyani (accompanied with laughing emojis)
Is the mayorkun collabo going to happen?
That’s up to him now. We did our part so hope we can drop the song one day.
Other comments on the post were filled with appreciation for Roberto’s work and continued hard work.
