The streets of Twitter were abuzz with confusion at Metro FM’s and 5FM’s little prank for April Fools day.
A joke that didn’t go well with the listeners as the two radio jocks switched it up by taking over each other’s afternoon slots, where Thando Thabete was Metro and Mo Flava on 5fm for the beginning of the two shows.
This prank comes in the wake of Metro FM’s presenter line-up announcement that had a few surprises up its sleeves.
