According to Chilala: “The problems within Supersport goes deeper than anyone could think. It’s so bad, it’s worse than a government department.”

After giving what he says are details of other problems Marawa faced at SuperSport, Chilala alleges that a TV director at Multichoice, Ayabonga Maholwana, “would ask the presenters who are new for sexual favours”.

Chilala says Maholwana’s sexual harassment case “was shoved under the carpet”.

“Robert Marawa [and] others tried and tried protecting these ladies but they were left helpless because every time they try to protect these ladies, they would be intimidated by senior bosses at Supersport,” Chilala alleges.

Chilala further alleges that Maholwana is “close friends with the boss who send Robert Marawa a text message [on Thursday] firing him.”

The allegations are untested, and the @AdvBarryRoux account has been accused of spreading fake news before, and has been suspended on multiple occasions.

Efforts to contact Maholwana have been unsuccessful so far, and we will continue to try and reach him for comment. We have also reached out to Marawa and will update this story with his comment if and when we receive it.

The stand-in host of the show on Thursday told viewers it was the last episode of the show.

SuperSport told IOL that the discontinuation of Marawa’s show was only due to an “exciting refresh” of its line-up.

The channel said that it 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,” the sports channel continued, in what appears to be a contradiction of Marawa’s assertion that he first found out about it after receiving a text hours before his show was meant to be broadcast.

“We are grateful for his contribution over the years, and wish him great success in his future endeavors,” SuperSport’s statement concludes.
