Radio personality Tbo Touch disclosed his 2024 resignation from the South African Broadcasting Corporation on the "Cheers to Failure" podcast, citing creative disagreements that prompted him to submit a letter requesting his departure from Metro FM. The broadcaster confirmed that he left quietly without media attention, continuing to host The Touchdown drive-time program through October 2025.
Touch returned to Metro FM in 2022 after departing in 2016 due to salary disputes, having previously hosted the station for 11 years before launching his digital platform, Touch HD. Speculation emerged online about whether executives persuaded him to remain after his resignation, though he did not confirm that retention discussions occurred between management and him.
The podcast episode emphasized professional boundaries and self-evaluation as Touch explained his decision-making process around workplace conflicts. His current status indicates continued broadcasting activity, with recent guest interviews demonstrating his ongoing presence at the station, despite earlier friction over creative direction and programming choices.
