Netizens react to Forever Etania 'harsh' contract with NRG Radio

"Please bear in mind that you signed a non-compete and non-disclosure agreement, and as such, you are prohibited from working with competitors for a year or revealing business information to any other parties during this period," the letter reads in part.

Forever Etania was among the first presenters to join the Clement Hill-based radio station. She had already made a name as an emcee and TV host, having worked with NTV Uganda.

Today's news of her firing shocked many, but the biggest surprise was the contract clause.

"Business contracts are really hard. What do you mean I am prohibited from working with your competitors for a year after leaving?" a commenter on X said, to which another responded: "The clause can be challenged in courts of law. It goes against rules of natural justice, especially after termination."

Another said: "One of the practical challenges is that the case would most likely be disposed of after a year!"

Said another: "But such contracts are legal… they can, however, be challenged in the courts of law depending on how harsh the contract is and also on grounds of Article 40, her economic rights."

Another commenter said: "Man, the contract game is shady."

Reads another comment: "Non-compete for a year? How did she sign that contract?"

Another wrote: "For a year? Do people read contracts they sign? Meanwhile, what did my girl do? I watch their studio clips on TikTok, and she seemed good at her job."

Forever Etania is yet to comment on the matter.
