"In keeping with the station's ongoing commitment to unearthing and developing new talent, we remain bullish about the fact that we are still the leaders when it comes to discovering the best young radio talent South Africa has to offer," said YFM programming manager Tumelo Diaho Monaheng.

Young in, old out

Handpicked from campus radio are two new personalities - Wits law graduate and Durban local Zama Dube, moved to Joburg to study and has hosted her own show on Voice of Wits Radio and also did a stint on Yeabo Radio. She will take over the 10am-12noon weekday slot. Bryce 'DJ Ankle Tap' Clarke, a communications graduate, who has hosted at UJFM for the past three years, takes on the midnight-3am slot.

The station bids farewell to veteran super DJ Oscar Mdlongwa, who leaves the station after 14 years. Having paved the way for hundreds of young musicians and DJs over the years, he is not only one of the biggest musical icon in the country, but he is also recognised internationally as a house music guru from Miami to Ibiza, Dublin to Paris. The station wishes him the best of luck with all future endeavours.
