Career

She then joined Club 808 on ETV and worked there for six months before landing another job by hosting Turn Up on Channel O together with K Naomi and Scoop. In 2015, she became a presenter of the Vuzu filler block V Prime. The same year, she hosted the Vuzu Amp reality competition series Hustle, searching for the next South African hip hop star.

Controversies

Sammy Sosa SA fell into hot soup after she tweeted saying, ‘some girls are useless’ referring to a movement founded in Beverly Hills meant to empower black women, #BlackGirls Rock. The hashtag trended for a week because the event was aired on BET in recognition of South African #BackGirls who rock. The radio presenter defended herself, saying that the Mzansi misunderstood her tweet that black girls are useless. She went on to explain that the hashtag was being exploited by using it in irrelevant contexts.

In other Sammy Sosa news, the beautiful DJ got into a feud with the comedian and entrepreneur Inno Matijane. Inno took to Twitter to expose Sammy after she blocked him on social media when she failed to deliver on a music deal they had agreed upon. The young comedian asked her to do the right thing and keep her promise.

Sammy Sosa, being one of the best female radio and TV presenters in South Africa, is an influence to many girls. She has had to juggle her career with motherhood, which shows that she has what it takes to make it in the world.
