News coming from Urban Brew studios are saying radio and TV presenter DJ Warras, real name Warrick Stock, is leaving popular SABC 1 music show, Live Amp after 6 years with the show.
His departure comes a month after his former co-host Lerato Kganyago who also dumped the show for greener pastures at M-Net. It has been confirmed that DJ Warras will present his final show on Friday 08 June. His former Live Amp co-presenters Pearl Thusi and Luthando Loot Love will usher his farewell show looking back at his time with the show.
“In my time at Live Amp I have been fortunate to have worked with legends in the TV game at Urban Brew, Marv, Sjula, Chester, Akhumzi, Bev, Nhlanhla, and the team. I have worked alongside the biggest talent in the country, LootLove, Pearl Thusi, Lerato Kganyago, and all the artists we’ve broken records with over the years on the biggest music show in SA history on Mzansi’s biggest Channel, for 6 years. It’s the longest time for any one before me and I’m honoured, grateful, blessed and I would like to thank all of the above for making me an Icon of the SA entertainment industry,” Warras said in a statement.
His former bosses seem to have nothing but good things to say about him.
“It has been an absolute pleasure working with one of SA television’s most talented male hosts. Warras as the longest standing presenter of Live Amp, has stood the test of time and we shall forever be grateful for his passion and dedication to the programme. He leaves behind big shoes to fill which will prove great task for his predecessor,” said Live Amp Producer, Nhlanhla Mthimkhulu in a statement.
This week, Live Amp will be broadcasting live from Sun City which is this year’s home to the SAMAs with DJ Warras and multi-talented guest presenter, Rorisang Thandekiso giving the viewers a teaser of what to expect in the SAMA night of musical bliss on Saturday, 2 June 2018 which will be broadcast on SABC1 at 19h30.
Live amp will make way for the FIFA World Cup from the 15th of June and will return on your screens shortly after the conclusion of the showpiece.
Signed, sealed and delivered. Thank you for tuning in, it’s a wrap! ? #LiveAmp
