DJ Rob Forbes bids 5FM goodbye in an official statement shared to the public on Tuesday, claiming he’s retiring from Radio.

Rob and his co-host Fix announced their departure from the SABC radio station.

“Nine years and more than 7,000 hours later, it’s time to put a full stop on the final broadcast. This has been the plan, in consultation with 5FM management, since early 2020. This last year broadcasting through lockdown has been one of the most interesting years we have had, and I am happy we were able to be part of it,” he said

“Friends, it’s time. I’m hanging up the headphones. Permanently. Thank you for listening.

“There is also no ’next radio show’ plan. I have no new show lined up somewhere else. That was never my goal,” Rob said, before reiterating this was his radio retirement for now.
