The managing director of Kaya FM, Greg Maloka, has taken a voluntary leave of absence.
His leave comes amid allegations of wrongdoing at the Gauteng radio station.
The station gave all its staff an internal memo on Saturday saying it received a document from an anonymous source “contains several allegations, the validity of which cannot be determined at this time”.
The documents raised allegations about sexual harassment, mismanagement and recruitment or appointments without merit or qualification.
“Both the MD of Kaya FM, Mr Greg Maloka, as well as the board, view these allegations in a very serious light,” read the memo.
It added that after consulting with the board, Maloka had “volunteered to take leave of absence to allow for a smooth and uninterrupted internal process as well as to allow the investigation to run its full course”.
“Be assured that the board will act with the requisite need that the seriousness and sensitivity of the matter requires.”
Kaya FM’s COO, Linda Reddy, will act as MD.
