news came as a big surprise to many on Saturday, September 17, 2011, when the
award-winning radio personality took to her twitter account to announce her
departure. She tweeted via her handle @Matse1 at 10:18am: ‘Pips! I’m no

shown me. I really appreciate U’all. God bless’.In a telephone conversation
with our reporters, Matse disclosed, ‘It’s nothing big, I’m moving on to
something else, something that I always wanted to do’. She went on, ‘It’s not
about salary, it’s about growth. It’s been four amazing years, it’s time for me
to grow.’
