Veteran SABC sports presenter Kwena Moabelo has been red-carded from presenting any soccer show at the SABC.

The former Soccer Zone and Soccer 411 presenter was given his marching orders by SABC general manager for sports Keletso Totlhanyo last Monday.

In the letter, Totlhanyo told Moabelo that his services were no longer needed effective from May 1 - Workers Day.

Sunday World has learnt that Totlhanyo was allegedly acting on the instruction of her boss - SABC group executive for sports Sully Motsweni.

Moabelo confirmed that he had been barred from presenting soccer on the public broadcaster. "The decision is not yet final because I have requested a meeting with the SABC on the matter. As such, I won't comment further," said Moabelo, a lawyer by training.
