Radio legend Eddie Zondi's daughter Lula Odiba fired from Channel O via SMS
Lula Odiba, daughter of the late legendary radio icon Eddie Zondi, has revealed that she was terminated from her TV job at Channel O's Groove via SMS. The news came as a shock to the popular presenter, who expressed disappointment over the impersonal nature of the notification.
"I was informed of my firing due to budget constraints," Odiba shared with listeners on her show. "While I understand that things happen, a phone call or an email would have been more appropriate."
Confirming the SMS dismissal to ZiMOJA, Odiba declined to elaborate further, stating that her manager advised her against commenting on the issue.
Despite this recent setback, Odiba continues to advance her career. In June, she announced her departure from Y (formerly YFM) after five years to join 5FM, where she now hosts 5 Lunch on weekdays and the new 5 Hip-Hop Nights on Sundays.
Odiba's father, Eddie Makhosonke Zondi, was a beloved South African radio personality known for his soulful music. His show, The Romantic Repertoire, on Metro FM, and his Sunday Soul sessions left a lasting impact on the airwaves.
"My dad taught me the power of music and its ability to connect people," said Odiba. "I hope to continue his legacy by sharing my passion for music with my listeners."
Though disappointed by the abrupt termination, Odiba's commitment to her craft remains unwavering. She continues to strive for success in the entertainment industry, carrying on her father's legacy of musical excellence.
