In a recent turn of events, DJ Sbu, whose real name is Sbusiso Leope, has rescinded his resignation from Radio 2000. Initially, on February 24, 2025, he announced his departure from the station, stating that he would be leaving before his contract concluded on March 30, 2025. However, shortly thereafter, DJ Sbu revealed that he had finalized a new 12-month agreement with Radio 2000, effectively continuing his role as the host of the breakfast show.
This unexpected reversal has led to widespread speculation among fans and industry insiders regarding the reasons behind his initial resignation and subsequent return.
