New 702 anchor

Journalist and former television personality Redi Direko is to anchor the weekday talk show 'Talk at 9' on Talk Radio 702 (9pm to midnight) from Monday 8 August. Previously anchored by Kieno Kammies, the show is a talk back programme that includes a discussion on current affairs.

The show gives ordinary people the opportunity to discuss issues that affect their everyday lives. The show is also simulcast with 702's sister station 567 CapeTalk.

Direko (27) worked at SABC, Kaya FM, Network Radio News and was the communications director in the Office of the Premier of the Western Cape.

She started her career at Talk Radio 702 as a senior Eyewitness News journalist in February this year and has impressed management with her investigative journalism and no-nonsense attitude.

Direko says: "I am ecstatic about my new role. The platform will allow for robust debate. I believe that through talking and exchanging ideas, we expand our world view. I am looking forward to challenging our listeners, our newsmakers and being challenged myself."
