SuperSport have issued a statement regarding the parting of ways with one of their senior sports presenters Robert Marawa.
'Madluphuthu' announced through social media on Thursday that he was informed two hours before the start of 'Thursday Night with Marawa' via SMS to not bother showing up at work.
SuperSport communications manager Clinton van der Berg sent a statement to snl24.com/kickoff concerning the news.
"SuperSport is in the process of an exciting refresh of its local presenter line-up, which will be unveiled as part of our new football season campaign.
"This restructure includes us not pursuing our contractual relationship with Robert Marawa.
"Robert was personally advised of our decision earlier this week. We are grateful for his contribution over the years and wish him great success in his future endeavours."
I received a text around 18H50 tonight informing me that I should not bother coming to Studio for Thursday Night Live with Marawa Show on @SuperSportTV... I would like to thank all those who have supported my journey as a Sportscaster & those I've worked with at Supersport! ??????
