In just a few days, Tbo Touch will be making his highly anticipated return to Metro FM.
After six years, the DJ and businessman is making a return to the public broadcaster's urban radio station.
It’s been some time since Tbo Touch was at the SABC studio, so it’s only fitting that he made a turn ahead of his big Metro FM return.
Tbo Touch shared a picture of his visit to the Metro FM studios on Instagram and it's evident that he’s glad to be back in the chair.
“Just popped in at Metro FM to check if my horns are intact,” he joked in his caption on Instagram.
Metro FM announced that Tbo Touch would be returning to the station on April 1 when they revealed the line-up shake-up.
Not only does Tbo Touch return to the station but he returns to the afternoon drive slot, which he previously held.

As to what’s different at Metro FM, Tbo Touch shared in his Twitter post that there is “new management”. This could possibly be one of the reasons for his return.
He also expressed his disbelief that it has been six years since he was behind the mic at Metro.
“Can’t believe it’s been 6 years since I last sat on this chair,” he wrote on Instagram.

In June 2016, after 11 years with the station, Tbo Touch handed in his resignation.
The controversial radio jock was suspended after allegedly refusing to read an advert that reportedly cost the SABC millions of rand at the time.
Prior to the big line-up announcement, the SABC had to put out a mini fire, following reports about Tbo Touch’s alleged hefty salary.
“The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) refutes the claims made in yesterday’s Sunday World article titled ‘Metro FM gets Tbo Touch back at R480 000 per month’,” read a statement issued to IOL Entertainment.
