New lineup for Ukhozi FM

Two of the station’s long-serving and loyal personalities, Dudu “Lady D” Khoza and Linda “Mr Magic” Sibiya, will remain in the mid-morning show and afternoon drivetime respectively.

Lucky Sefatsa, who has been at helm in the breakfast show will move to the midday slot (12pm – 3pm) to take over from Bongi “BGM” Gumbi, who has been promoted into Ukhozi FM management as an executive producer in charge of the Johannesburg office.

According to Ukhozi, DJ Sbu is at the epitome of popular culture right now and his talent has been highly sought after, with a number of radio stations jostling for his service: “With his effervescent persona, infectious brand of humour and wit, heart and mind that has an appeal across diverse audiences, DJ Sbu will be entrusted with an important responsibility of hosting the station’s most important slot, the breakfast show, from the beginning of April 2007. DJ Sbu will be assisted by the charming Sbonga Zungu to deliver a show that will become the mother of all breakfast shows in the country.

“Mandla’s versatility, experience, multiple talents and passion for radio will be put into good use in his new role as Ukhozi FM sports bulletin anchor on the weekday breakfast and the afternoon drive-time slot. Mandla’s resourcefulness will also be employed into the mainstream shows as he may be utilised as a substitute for other show hosts when the need arises,” concludes the press release.
