Kaya Fm revealed Unathi made false accusations against Dhlomo
In court documents opposing Nkayi's multi-million-rand lawsuit for unfair dismissal, Kaya FM revealed that she had made false accusations against Dhlomo, causing anxiety among colleagues and employees.
They presented an email in which Nkayi falsely claimed that Dhlomo had been aggressive and used profanity towards her. However, an audio recording provided by Dhlomo discredited Nkayi's allegations.
Nkayi's refusal to apologise and her colleague's formal complaint ultimately led to the termination of her contract. In response, Nkayi argued that the audio recording infringed upon her privacy and claimed that Dhlomo had previously made derogatory remarks about her on-air, without facing consequences.
