Who's in the wrong?

The Yarona FM Awards (YAMAs) created quite a stir, earning a reputation as a flop. The radio station had enlisted the services of South African actress and model Pearl Thusi to co-host the eighth edition alongside Yarona FM's Afternoon Drive Time presenter, Phemo 'DJ Sway' Mmola.

However, the excitement fizzled out prematurely as news circulated on social media that Pearl Thusi left the show after just 10 minutes on stage. Unsurprisingly, she didn't hold back on her dissatisfaction, taking to social media to label the event a disaster. In one post, she quipped, “If you’re from Botswana please just call me Kedibone. It's only right.”

Opinions were divided, with some supporting her decision not to associate her brand with the perceived inadequacies of the show, while others argued that she should have soldiered on, regardless of any issues, and fulfilled her hosting duties. Amidst the controversy, the saying 'the show must go on' comes to mind, emphasising the strength of pushing through challenges rather than walking out and criticising the event.
