Woes at Jacaranda FM

It is a reminder that she beat the odds in a really hostile environment. Two months after Tumi joined the station she was hauled to the BCCSA after she stood her ground during a debate about Steve Hofmeyr, and for comments she made about Apartheid.

During the debacle Tumi revealed that ever since she joined the station she was subjected to racial slurs.

Jacaranda FM stood by Tumi during the ordeal but it didn’t stop trolls from harassing her online. She was later cleared of hate speech accusations by the BCCSA.

Her nomination thus gives her more reason to be stand tall.

Tumi was over the moon at her nomination and congratulated Martin before reflecting on what the nomination meant to her.
