Kaya 959 Breakfast with Dineo and Sol is one of South Africa’s most popular breakfast radio shows. This can be attributed in part to the fact that the breakfast show is constantly making headlines.
First, Dineo Ranaka was accused of being “man-hating” and suffering from “main character syndrome” as a result of her initial on-ai chemistry with Sol Phenduka. However, the show appears to have ironed out that issue, as even Ranaka and Phenduka’s seating positions, as well as their on-air chemistry, have improved.
Since then, the show has served as a venue for some of the most topical interviews. Whether it was Moneoa’s official return to the public eye before making headlines for speaking out about her abusive relationship, or Enhle Mbali speaking out about her mental health issues.
The show was now receiving mostly positive feedback. But it appears that it took Ranaka’s departure for the show to return to its contentious era. All thanks to Sammy T, the now-disgraced but accomplished broadcaster.
Kaya 959 and Sammy T have been the site of criticism recently. This follows after the “awkward” to say the least, interview with rapper and businesswoman Nadia Nakai. It seems that despite Sammy T being a broadcaster with over 30 years of broadcasting experience, proved the point that veterans in radio might just be misogynistic.

This is as Sammy T, who seemed to not know anything about Nadia Nakai except her scandals, reduced Nakai and her professional career to which man she is currently linked to. From insinuating that Nakai and former record label boss, Cassper Nyovest, might have dated to getting the title of her album wrong.
Tweeps and the general public alike were not happy with having Sammy T at the helm of the interview. So much so that despite the hate she gets on Twitter, listeners thought it better to let Ranaka handle female interviews in the future.
Others gave Sol Phenduka his flowers for “saving” the interview. While Nadia Nakai was lauded over how well she handled the entire situation. While Nakai has not spoken out about her feelings in light of the interview going viral, she has acknowledged the support she has been receiving via social media.
when you think nadia nakai you think “pull up in a 4 dzoor audi” not naked chick 🤢 https://t.co/gTIhHzcTnj

But what comes as disappointing is the fact that Kaya 959 has yet to address the matter with a public statement reflecting on the conduct of Sammy T during the interview. To make matters worse, Sammy T seems to have crawled back to the Kaya 959 basement in light of the backlash instead of confronting it head on.

I mean… who the heck thinks "the naked chick" when referring to Nadia? He couldn't even support his dumb statement when challenged. It's time that Sammy T called it a day.

As we wait, Nakai is currently being a dog mom as boyfriend AKA travels outside the country. This is as she shared the adorable picture of their dogs together at AKA’s home, ready and already excited for the festive season as we all countdown to Christmas.
