Unathi Nkayi is finally dealing with Kaya 959 as she demands R1.6 million from the media company.
Over a year ago, the presenter was dismissed from the radio station after the company refused to go with their initial agreement as regards her payment.
Nkayi also accused Sizwe Dhlomo, an employee of the station, after an investigation carried out by Kaya, the case was dismissed as a false claim.
According to the court papers, Unathi suffered contractual damages to the tune of R1 300 000.00, as a result of the dismissal.
“The total sum which the defendant failed to pay over the 16-month period was R1 300 000.00 [R81 250.00 multiplied by 16]. Despite demand, the defendant has failed to pay to the plaintiff the sum of R1 300 000.00. The defendant is ordered to pay to the plaintiff the sum of R1 300 000.00,” read the papers.
She also demands that the station unpublishes a statement from its website saying there was breakdown in trust between them and her version of events in the matter and had “unfortunately been found wanting”. For this, she is demanding R100 000.
In addition, she is demanding R200 000 for impairment of dignity after the station said in its termination letter that she lied about her complaint about Sizwe Dhlomo.
