Phat Joe was mean to Caster and he is yet to apologise...


Amidst my ignorance towards Joburg based radio staton KayaFM I read this rather interesting piece from my new found blog love "I luv SA"- interesting enough it tells of all the different stories about South Africa but this one grasped me the most as I remembered reading this article in The Star from my sick bed on Monday.
But from this article comes one question?
why thehell do radio stations continue to employ such ignorant men, who can continue to ridicule people who are different from others?
I mean Phat Joe knew very well that Caster Semenya's story was a sensitive matter but he still said what he did.
What is even more shocking is that his radio station is protecting Phat Joe meanwhile they should be forcing him to write a letter of apology to Caster and her family or even better he apologises publicly.
If he doenst apologise I assue they are condoning what he said and all is dandy in that office.

The wonderful rainbow nation we call South Africa, has no clue what freedom of
speech means. Phat Joe has been suspended for what I would call, benign remarks, regarding Semenya. His line of questioning was appropriate and in the public interest. It seems "the powers that be" will go to extraordinary lengths to conceal the truth.

A Kaya FM DJ has been suspended after listeners complained that his comments about revelations that Caster Semenya was inter-sexed were "harsh".

Phat Joe, whose real name is Majota Khambule, invited listeners to express their views on the Semenya issue on Friday morning, after an Australian newspaper claimed the results of the sex tests the teenager had allegedly undergone showed she had "no womb and no ovaries, and had internal testes".

During his show, Phat Joe said the following:

"Does this mean that at this point she has never had a period? To some extent, she should have known that something is not 100 percent right, she was still waiting for her period perhaps?"

"Did she cheat when she left those women (behind) in Germany? Why is it possible that she could not have known that she is not 100 percent female?"

Some of the callers were offended by the remarks. One caller, a man, asked him to be sensitive about the issue, telling him he had three times referred to Semenya as having testicles instead of internal testes, as it had been reported. But Phat Joe shot back: "What is the difference between testes and testicles? Let's say she has testes, what does that mean to you? Does it mean she is a man or a woman? She is either a natural phenomenon, or something is wrong and something should be fixed". - I Luv SA
