“Being the biggest radio station is not just a bragging right; it means constantly working on the product. Improve on our content offering and pairing it with the best talent we can find. While there is a lot of great talent in the country, it is important that we consider all aspects, which are primarily growing and maintaining our audiences, nurturing talent and be as relevant as possible to the UKhozi FM audience. We are excited of the two new Presenters and are confident that they will deliver as expected.”
