TWEEPS NOT HAPPY WITH NEW SQUAD However, Twitter users were not happy with the decision to have Anele and Ayanda join the sports channel.
I love Anele but this recycling situation is not ayoba. There's unearthed talent out there waiting and deserving of opportunities, one tweep said.
Another tweep asked: Why can't sport be presided over by people in sport and not slay queens?
Seeking work in the entertainment industry with qualifications must be stressful.. The industry keeps recycling The same people, another tweep said.
