AXED DJ JOINS FA

WESTERN Cape radio personality Martin Jordison announced on Wednesday he has been given the number three slot on the Federal Alliance’s list of candidates for the Western Cape legislature. Jordison said he supports the FA’s opposition to affirmative action legislation and its commitment to “transformation through upliftment” rather than “through decay to achieve a lower equality”. Jordison was abruptly axed from Primedia-owned Cape Talk last Thursday.This came shortly after a letter to station management from ANC Western Cape spokesman Cameron Dugmore objecting to Jordison’s anti-ANC tone.
