Phat Joe Comment on Caster Semenya
In 2009, Joe invited listeners to Kaya FM to express their views on the Semenya Caster Issue after an Australian newspaper claimed that the results of the sex tests the teenager had allegedly undergone showed she had “no womb and no ovaries, and had internal testes”.During the show, Joe said “Does this mean that at this point she has never had a period? To some extent, she should have known that something is not 100% right.
She was still waiting for her period, perhaps?”Did she cheat when she left those women (behind) in Germany? Why is it possible that she could not have known that she is not 100% female?”Due to these remarks, he was fired from the radio station although he says that he was not given an explanation for his firing.“I still don’t know why I got fired. They have not given the reason for firing me. No meeting was called to explain this and I wasn’t told why. I still have the letter on email,”
