Shaffie was fired together with popular Dj Joe Mfalme on saturday night. The sack came hours after the East African Breweries announced that it had suspended advertising with the Radio Africa Group over rape slurs that the presenters had made.
The slurs were made after a woman revealed in court that she had been thrown off the 12th floor of a building by a man whom she had just met for a first date, leaving her immobile and paralysed. The victim Eunice Wakimbi told Principle Magistrate Esther Kimilu that the suspect, Moses Njoroge had pushed her to the tragic fall after she rejected his sexual advances during their date. The fall caused her serious pelvic injuries.
