DJ Fresh and Euphonik step down amid rape allegation
Things just went from bad to worse for the two DJ's following a suspension by Primedia after they were accused of rape.
Earlier this week DJ Fresh and Euphonik were accused by a lady on Twitter of rape. To make matters worse, this is not the time first these two have faced rape allegations.

When Fresh was asked to comment on the matter, he said:
The fact that these claims are untrue and from an unknown source, does not make them less hurtful.
But now, matters seem to have worsened for the two, as they have now been suspended from work.
An official statement was released by Primedia stating that both DJs will be stepping down from their roles at 94.7 Highveld Stereo while they 'focus on addressing the recent allegations.'

I’m still waiting on clarification on how long (or if this is permanent). #KgopoloReports pic.twitter.com/bqtg5BMmhP
And just like that drama begins! Twitter of cause had a lot to say:
Penny spoke about finding numerous young girls naked pictures on his laptop. We need more women to come forward cause she is clearly not the only one. I know most were children and have probably been trying to forget the ordeal all their lives, but this is the only way.

"reached a mutual decision" and "suspended" are not the same thing Phil. I think we should report things the way they are and not sugarcoat them.
