Twitter is one vocal platform and you can bet tweeps gave their two cents worth on the current Metro FM saga. Fans were shocked and sad to hear that Bonang Matheba had quit the station yesterday – some even vowing to no longer listen to the station and would rather follow B to whichever station she may join next.
Well, this morning, after Dineo Ranaka was unveiled as the replacement for Queen B*, many seemed to have changed their tune. Here are some of the reactions.
The ‘over the moon’ gang
Lol seem like we won’t be missing the queen anymore, Dineo is everything guys #AskAMan

Dineo Ranaka is in no position to shade anyone or is she suffering from concussion, Ref her intro song by Lira.

The ‘crack a joke at every cost’ gang
Dineo Ranaka and LKG should close the show with a song by Debora Frassier – Hamba Satane 😊

So they announce Dineo Ranaka as the new co host and then play Lira’s “nom’ungahamba ngeke ngilile” for Bonang #Thefrontrow pic.twitter.com/Bz1HsNZ9wU

It appears tweeps are divided but judging by listerners of today’s show, Dineo did the damn thing and may have just “saved the Metro FM sinking ship”.
What are were your reactions and which gang do you fall under?
Let us know.
