Former SAfm host Kgomotso Moeketsi is set to launch a new podcast titled Between Us in November 2026. This professional transition follows the termination of her contract with the broadcaster in July 2026.

Why it matters

The podcast marks a shift for Moeketsi as she pursues an independent career path while simultaneously seeking accountability through the High Court. Her legal challenge aims to secure an independent assessment of the SABC's decision to end her tenure.

The fundraising campaign aimed at financing a High Court challenge has secured R4 300 towards a R250 000 target. This initiative was launched to support legal efforts against the SABC following Moeketsi's departure.
