South Africa’s radio industry came out in full force on Saturday at the Radio Awards gala dinner at The Empire Conference and Events Venue in Parktown, Johannesburg, with popular South African comedian Loyiso Madinga as Master of Ceremonies.
Now in its 12th year, the 2022 Radio Awards recognise the personalities in front of the microphone, as well as those operating behind the scenes to produce radio of the highest quality.
