Robert Marawa reportedly sacked from Thursday Night Live via text message. 'They’ve opened a massive can of worms and things are going to come out, mark my words,' an insider said.

Marawa had met the pay channel’s management on Wednesday and was told that his contract would not be renewed. SuperSport confirmed the decision had been taken, saying that a"restructure" of its football coverage didn't include Marawa.

“I received a text around 18H50 tonight informing me that I should not bother coming to studio for Thursday Night Live with Marawa on @SuperSportTV,” Marawa tweeted."I would like to thank all those who have supported my journey as a Sportscaster & those I've worked with at Supersport!” ... I would like to thank all those who have supported my journey as a Sportscaster & those I've worked with at Supersport! ✌🏼✌🏼The relationship between Marawa and SuperSport had deteriorated to icy depths in recent days and he was seen entering the pay channel’s Randburg headquarters with his lawyers in tow on Thursday afternoon.

“SuperSport have pretty much done the same thing. But, guess what, they’ve opened a massive can of worms and things are going to come out, mark my words," the insider added.SuperSport spokesman Clinton van der Berg conformed to TimesLIVE on Thursday night that Marawa no longer had a contract with the broadcaster. Marawa, he said, had been informed of the decision earlier in the week.

But let's give them a chance to explain...say by 5 o' clock today? Jissus , the suspense is killing me!

Something smells....

It's not an insider it's a tweet from a soccer laduma journalist, do you guys even do your job mara?

MohaleMotaung_ Only from Thursday night live or every show and match days?

TTM16 Let it be he robertmarawa must expose them

The guy has 9 lives...

We are

mxm

Honest_Hustler EdS_888 Why aren't they quoting this tweet? He mentions sexual harassment and it is alleged interns are being sexually harassed and perpetrators are protected. 🤔🤷🏽‍♂️

Some industries n institutions r merciless rather cruel! U give so much n when they feel like it, they just let u go?!?! Mmxxmmm🙁

You can not fire someone for protecting woman sexual abuse.

Good news, fantastic

Nothing is permanent, let the young graduate be given the opportunity to shine as well plus onagana gore he is unchangeable 😋

Geez the universe has a way of self correction. Kharma.

Join newsroom afrika Rob we will follow u there they can put a fake in ur place 😂 they mst sabc radio what happened when they fired u and replaced you with the fanakaloz the listenership dwindled we werr no longer keen to listen to boring show we wl not watch the boring again

Why is Marawa always having these sour splits with his employers? First it was SABC 1, then MetroFM and now SuperSport? Something seem to be untoward. It can’t be that he’s always wronged all the time. I think he needs some introspection

_Dineo_M Was he sacked from ThursdayNightLive only or from SuperSportTV altogether?

Be not surprised coz the entire MCA has been terminating people's contacts since 2015, Mnet, SS, & DSTV group. Thousands of ppl lost jobs.

If anybody in sports journalism in South Africa deserves respect it is Robert Marawa. He has served the industry with dignity, professionalism and put black sports presenters on the map. Sending an sms is cowardly and pathetic. He deserves better than MultiChoiceGRP anyway.

SuperSportTV has always been full of shit

What is super sports without him? He doesn't need them they need him

I’m following Rob

Stay 💪🏼

Supersport management its unfair

I told him not to go to the Afrikaans is Groot concert to see Steve.

I’m reading this and I’m thinking this source has too much sauce 😂

Where ever you go Mr Robert Marawa..... We shall follow you... If they fire u... We fire them.

You were quick to find that insider. Find the worms too

Trust timeslive to create an imaginary 'insider'

Entertainment world is cruel, is either you wake up or the world will walk on you
