East Coast Radio welcomes Mzuvele Mthethwa as new managing director
Mthethwa brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to his new role having spent nearly two decades at ECR, latterly as the station’s head of finance, responsible for strategic planning, corporate governance, and financial management. He is also a long-standing member of the Kagiso Media Radio Exco team.

His appointment as managing director is well-deserved, and I am confident he will make a significant positive impact on the station and its operations.”
Mzuvele Mthethwa's appointment as managing director comes after three months in an acting capacity and heralds an exciting new chapter for ECR. The station has demonstrated strong audience growth in valuable segments as a result of a strong lineup of talent, continuous research into the tastes of its audience, community outreach initiatives, and the “Here with You” brand campaign which has engaged and excited listeners all over KwaZulu-Natal.
