Cliff’s producer suspended for F-word

Cape Town – Gareth Cliff is letting the Twittersphere know how he feels about the word “Fuck”,

The 5FM jock early on Tuesday morning that exectuive producer, Thabo Modisane, had been suspended for a week because the expletive was audible in a soundbite.

IOL reports that Cliff contextualised the tweet on air, explaining that Modisane had let the F-word be audible in a clip and his suspension was due to one listener complaint.

Cliff’s tweets read as follows: 

Executive Producer suspended by management for a week… because one FUCKING ASSHOLE complained about the word FUCK

He then attempted to get the swearword trending on the social networking site, without much success.

Let’s get trending on Twitter this morning. I’m so tired of this childish attitude some people have to swearing

The BCCSA recently dismissed a case against Cliff where he referred to a female caller as “Dear Bitch”.
