MacG sets record straight after firing sound guy AyaProw [watch]
MacG has set the record straight on firing AyaProw following reports that he is a ‘bully’ and a ‘jealous’ boss.
Podcast and Chill boss and host Macgyver “MacG” Mukwevho has finally explained to the Chillers why his sound technician AyaProw — real name Ayabulela Phakade — has been absent from the show.
When viewers noticed Aya’s absence and the fact that he had stopped sharing upcoming show teasers on his Twitter account, they wanted answers.

MACG ACUSSED OF BEING JEALOUS OF HIS EMPLOYEES
Following reports by Zimoja last week about the dismissal, MacG shared his side of the story in conversation with his co-hosts Sol Phenduka and Ghostlady on Monday 12 December.

Aya is also a DJ and had released his album, Value of Time, last month. MacG, who was reportedly invited to the album listening session, did not show up.
“That hurt Aya badly because he considered MacG a friend, a brother and they were growing in this together. He thought he would support him. Instead, he told him days before the album release to take a few days off and focus on the music… Aya didn’t know what that meant because he always makes time for anything related to the podcast,” a source said.
The former 947 radio presenter was also labelled a bully.
“Aya is not the only person that been having issues with him. MacG needs to take him back or he might have to consult his legal team. But he doesn’t want to. He is too nice. He is just hurt about how everything has played out,” another source told the publication.
