Why do we have yotv presenters over 15 years? I think retirement should be at least 17 years max.

I miss those good old days when every kid rushed home to see the old presenters, the likes of sphiwe, carly, etc. Yotv used to be presented by teenagers and was the greatest kids show. Nowadays the show has turned into crap, it's presented by abogogo nabo mkhulu. All I hear when I watch it is just noise and nothing else. Please get rid of those pathetic losers. peace!
