After six years off radio, broadcaster Nigel Pierce returned on Monday afternoon on Heart 104.9 FM leading the Drive Show from 3pm to 7pm, with Jamie-Lee Domburg, on traffic, and Jeremy Harris, on sport.

As promised, Pierce, delivered when it came to filling in the blanks on the dramatic split from the SABC radio station Good Hope FM, one that silenced his voice for six years.

The tell-all show on May 5 was true Pierce style raw, unfiltered, loud and entertaining.

Pierce’s return as expected had listeners tuning in to hear the high-energy personality on the popular Cape Town radio station.

Many embraced Pierce with warmth, and some listeners weren’t too pleased with listening to him talk about himself for more than two hours seems they forgot it’s “The Nigel Pierce Show”.

Ashley Rix wrote on Facebook; “I don’t know who needs to hear this… but #NigelPierce is about to get fired on his first day!

“This man came in hot like he’s on a verbal Springbok tour, swinging at everything and everyone—names, places, vibes, even weather patterns! No warm-up. No easing in. Just straight: “Let me tell you what’s wrong with this country…”

“I sat there like, “Uhm… Nigel… you do know HR has radios too, right?” Man said, “I’m not naming names” and then proceeded to name names like he was reading a wedding program!

“The microphone was supposed to be a tool, but my guy is using it like a flamethrower. If he’s still employed by supper, we must declare it a miracle. If not… I’ll gladly start a GoFundMe. Because what a legend!”
