M-Net's SuperSport has dropped Joost van der Westhuizen with immediate effect and ended their contract with him as sport commentator.
This comes after Joost's admission that it was indeed him in the sex video in which he can be seen taking drugs that created a huge media storm since February.
SuperSport who used Joost as presenter and commentator is no longer in any mood to be associated with him and yesterday, didn't want to talk to me about it AT ALL. SuperSport was not willing to comment on the matter AT ALL.
Joost said he thought that SuperSport might now drop him since ''SuperSport has a brand to protect''.
SuperSport didn't issue a press release yesterday, but just made a small announcement on their SuperSport website with 4 POINTS:
1. SuperSport has perused extracts from Joost van der Westhuizen’s biography ” The Man in the Mirror” and held discussions with him.
2. Following those discussions, SuperSport and Joost have mutually agreed to terminate the freelance agreement between them, forthwith.
3.SuperSport thanks Joost for his contributions as a commentator and presenter and wishes him all the best for the future.
4.SuperSport shall make no further comment on this matter.
