East Coast Radio has distanced itself from the furore surrounding the cancellation of the Durban Annual Motor Expo (DAME), organised by one of its presenters.
At the weekend, Jayshree Parasuramen, a traffic presenter at the radio station, faced massive backlash after calling the event off.
The women-empowered motor expo was expected to be held at the Durban International Convention Centre from July 28 – 30.
In a lengthy Facebook post, Parasuramen said she decided to cancel the event due to lack of funding.
Conceding that perhaps it was a poor decision, Parasuramen said she could have taken money from a corrupt headline sponsor but her conscience mattered more than brands or money.
