Yarona FM P5m suit against Robbie Rob today :: Mmegi Online

The tug of war between employer and employee will be set forth at the Gaborone High Court this morning when Yarona FM sues former employee, Robbie Rob, born Robin Chivazve, for P5 million.

In the middle of the warring sides are the rights to the popular Yarona FM Music Awards dubbed the YAMAs. However, in this particular case, the youthful radio station is suing its former morning show host for defamation.

The defamation, according to the 106.6 dial emanates from a social media post authored by Daniel Dan Kenosi back in January 2019 where he said: "The plaintiff (Yarona FM) was facing legal action by the defendant (Robbie Rob) that the defendant wanted the plaintiff to stop using the 'YAMAs' trademark logo". According to Yarona FM court papers, the post was accompanied by the prominent figure of Yarona FM, stating that the YAMAs were initiated by Robbie Rob, "and further that the plaintiff bullied the defendant off the awards".
