Metro FM's William "The Black Chinese Guy" Lehong has allegedly sacrificed his plum job for a joyride.

Lehong, who hosted Pyjama Party on one of SA's biggest radio stations on weekends, was fired three weeks ago for giving free advertising to an American car dealership that had lent him a luxury vehicle for his personal use.

SABC spokesman Kaizer Kganyago confirmed Lehong was permanently muted by the station. "We can confirm that we have terminated his contract after unresolvable issues we encountered with him. But we cannot divulge the details of the issues," he said.

Lehong, also a sports news presenter with eNCA, said: "I cannot say anything about that, you should speak to Kaizer Kganyago because he speaks on behalf of the station." -
