The winner was announced on Thursday 24 March 2011 during the Afternoon Drive with Guy McDonald show, finalising a competition that gave students at various campuses across the peninsula the opportunity to win an on-air DJ contract with the station.

"Management is continually on the lookout to discover young fresh talent who aspire to be in the broadcasting industry and who can be added to the already dynamic line-up. Many of its well established DJs such as Guy McDonald, Nigel Pierce and Sean O cut their broadcasting teeth on campus radio," says the station's programme manager, Gerard Muller.

The other finalists were Sikhombiso Mangcu (SK) from Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT), Dominic Neill from University of Stellenbosch, Yolanda Pilane from the University of the Western Cape (UWC) and Julian Wenn from CPUT Bellville.

"The search in 2010 was such a success and when the winner, Nosipo Tisani from CPUT Cape Town was selected, the station realised that there was so much untapped talent at the various tertiary institutions, that this search had to be made an annual event," said Meegan Kieffer, the station's marketing manager.

The 2010 winner will continue to host her show on Good Hope FM and an additional timeslot will be allocated to Mabunda, once she has completed her training.
