Hosts Shaffie, Joe Mfalme Bashed for Victim Shaming
Radio hosts Shaffie Weru, Neville and DJ Joe Mfalme have come under fire over victim-blaming utterances of an assault victim. The trio, during their Thursday "The Liftoff" morning show, sparked a conversation regarding a lady who was allegedly pushed off a 12-storey building by a man she claims to have met on Facebook, leaving her paralyzed for at least two months.In the now viral clip, Shaffie is heard advising women to "play hard to get" by being "unavailable". Neville then remarks, "Don't give Edgar [Obare] news this morning". Shaffie then proceeds to ask, "Do you think Kenyan chicks are too available, are they too loose, too willing, too desperate and that's why they get themselves caught up in such situations?"The statement outraged netizens as most questioned why the victim was being made fun of and, indirectly, being blamed for being in that situation. "This conversation stinks. This is not the way brothers. Victim shaming is as stupid as the act itself. Do better," wrote Sauti Sol's Bien Aime-Baraza.Shaffie's former colleagues, Adelle Onyango and Lynda Nyangweso, also had a mouthful to say about the conversation. Nyangweso tweeted, "I'm so embarrassed to work in an organization where 3 men can sit down on a public platform and victim blame." Adelle said that remarks by the radio hosts only contribute in perpetuating gender-based violence. "Reducing Eunice's lived experience to banter or absolve perpetrators is DISGUSTING."Joe Mfalme, Shaffie and the Radio Africa-owned station have since issued an apology regarding the matter. Neville is yet to issue a statement.I know better. Now I do Better. @HomeboyzRadio pic.twitter.com/QiUVKePmgk

Only posting the deleted video here for reference, but pls do not listen to what these three grown men are saying. They've got a very skewed, ignorant and misogynistic way of thinking. pic.twitter.com/fgEOYrjTAQ

Shaffie Weru, a father of not one but two daughters, could not stop his mouth from all that verbal diarrhea and think that maybe he needs to call on ALL MEN to respect women's consent on sexual matters? Yaani that's how low our once favorite radio station is now going? pic.twitter.com/FWM5w2GisV

Shaffie is insinuating that the lady who was pushed from the 12th floor of a building in Nairobi CBD after she said no to a man's advancements was because she was too loose & very available hence putting herself is such a situation. Homeboyz yawa. What the actual hell! ?
