Gareth Cliff is departing from 5FM after a decade-long duration with the station.

Gareth Cliff announced on air and social media on Monday morning that it was his last show on 5FM after a decade at the SABC.

"It's time for a change. My team and my audience are like my dysfunctional radio family and we want to offer something new and exciting. After two suspensions and several close-shaves, dozens of BCCSA complaints and almost as many management changes at the SABC, it’s time to get unhinged!" Gareth said in a statement released by his manager on Monday morning.

He will be joined by his co-workers who are also leaving the station. Leigh-Ann Mol, has also left 5FM. Executive Producer Thabo Modisane and Thabo’s Assistant Damon Kalvari and Mabale Moloi are also following Gareth's route.

According to Channel24, PR specialist for 5FM Kim Sears confirmed that "Gareth is leaving and no it's not an April Fool's joke"

He also didn't mention what his next venture will be.
