Former grootbek radio presenter Nigel Pierce is now selling property for a living.
Pierce has also dropped his DJ name and has reverted to Gavin Mark Goliath.
Gavin, 48, was left high and dry after he was fired without benefits by Good Hope FM in 2019, for “breaching his contract and bringing the SABC into disrepute on social media platforms”.
This after he went on social media blasting the station after it apparently handed him a letter terminating his employment in front of staff, and locked him out of the SABC studios.
According to a statement by SABC at the time, his contract was originally supposed to end on 31 March 2019 with his last day on air being 29 March 2019.
“However, following the breach of contract by Nigel Pierce, the station was left with no choice but to part ways with Nigel Pierce with immediate effect,” station bosses said.
Shortly after his dismissal, Gavin posed in an onderbroekie on Instagram, saying: “I will travel for money, I will model for money, I will wear sunglasses for money.”
In April 2019, despite bragging about his many new job offers, he announced he’d be launching his own podcast, called the Nigel Pierce Show, which didn’t take off.
Now Gavin, who studied law, is making a fresh start as a real estate agent.
On Saturday, on Instagram, he posted a picture of himself, uitgevat wearing a formal black and white jacket, black pants and shoes sonder kouse, on a Dogon Group Properties poster that reads “Thinking of selling your apartment”, accompanied by his contact information.
The post gained over 1000 reactions and more than 200 comments.
Saskia Falken wrote: “Congratulations and all the very best on this new journey.”
DJ Azhul wrote: “Well good sir.”
Gadija Gordon wrote: “Re-inventing! Constantly evolving!! Making it damn hard for us regular Joes to keep up! Love it, I want whatever you’re having.”
The Daily Voice contacted Gavin for comment, but he said his new team “declined the opportunity”.
His new bosses made an official announcement on their social media platforms on Monday, stating: “Dogon Group Properties are proud to introduce Gavin Mark Goliath, who will be focusing on Sectional Title apartments on the Atlantic Seaboard.
“Fresh from a sabbatical with a focus on personal development, travel and reading, Gavin joins the Dogon Group with 30 years’ media experience under his belt.”
