PRESS RELEASE: FRESH FM

Following the recent incident at the weekend’s SYM Awards, we recognize the public interest and commentary regarding Fresh FM’s response, and we want to assure our listeners and partners that we are addressing the matter with the utmost seriousness.

As part of our internal review, NSK was suspended from the Fresh FM morning show earlier this week, though he did appear on air Monday morning. Unfortunately, he was unavailable for debriefing or a formal discussion following the show, delaying our ability to proceed with a thorough investigation.

At Fresh FM, our mission is to celebrate and uplift local talent and achievements. We regret that during the Best Male Radio Presenter award presentation, NSK, acted in a manner that disrupted the event, reminiscent of a well-known international award interruption.

This behavior does not align with the values we uphold at Fresh FM, which are rooted in respect, professionalism, and support for our community. We honor and celebrate the accomplishments of all media professionals, and it’s our priority to ensure such occasions are commemorated with the dignity they deserve.

With our investigation now complete, NSK will serve a suspension for the remainder of this week. He will return to air on Monday morning between 7 and 8 a.m. to address the matter directly.

Thank you for your continued understanding and support. Together, we aim to foster a positive, respectful, and thriving media environment in Namibia.
