Artists baffled and riled by Durban radio station’s decision to pull the plug on their work Award-winning artists DJ Cleo and maskandi star Phuzekhemisi are hopping mad after their hit song Mbizo Rocker was banned by KwaZulu-Natal’s Gagasi FM. The station hit mute on the smash hit about two weeks ago – because, according to its managers, the song is “too busy”. It’s the first single from DJ Cleo’s latest album, Eskhaleni 9, and is a remix of Phuzekhemisi’s hit, Imbizo. It’s been on heavy rotation on other radio stations countrywide, but Gagasi FM isn’t impressed. News of the banning was revealed in a series of email exchanges between the station’s music compiler and on-air presenter Zanda Mthembu; DJ Cleo (real name Cleopas Monyepao); and DJ Cleo’s record label, Universal. DJ Cleo and Universal wanted to know why the song wasn’t being featured on the station’s playlists
