Mmabatho Montsho has been lauded by X users after she cancelled her Metro FM interview.

This after the station promoted an interview with Millet Ben Haim to speak about surviving the attack at the Nova Festival in Israel in October 2023 and later deleted the post.

The actress said the station was in support of "Zionist apartheid".

"Thank you for alerting me that the show supports Zionist apartheid. I will not be doing the interview," she wrote.

X users were impressed by her decision and rallied behind her.

Metro FM management cleared the air in a statement shared on their timeline.

"The management of Metro FM would like to set the record straight on a matter concerning a social media post that was published yesterday [Wednesday] of an interview that was set to take place this morning," Metro FM said.

"Management cancelled the interview and ordered an immediate removal of the social media post based on its controversial content. An investigation has been instituted to address the matter. Management regrets this incident. However, it must be noted the SABC always endeavours to provide fair and balanced content."
