Why Radio?
I love touching lives and the only way I could do that was to be on radio, it helps you talk to millions of people at once.

Which other radio stations have you worked for?
None other yet, Izwi Lomzansi 98.0 fm is my first.

Did you study radio?
No I didn’t. It happened there was a vacant slot and since I love radio and my voice was suitable also, I grabbed the opportunity with both hands.

Besides radio, what other projects are you currently busy or involved with?
I’m currently working on my two companies, Vusani Funeral Home as well as Oath Empowerment, yes I’m a mortician. I’m a full time presenter for an online TV and a Red carpet host, There’s also a project I’m shooting, I might be on your screens soon.

What has working on radio has taught you?
Since radio has the wildest audience reaching footprints of millions of people, it has taught me to firstly be myself, everything that I say must be something that a listener at home will benefit or pick a positive thing or two from.

What advice can you give to aspiring radio broadcasters?
Firstly, be yourself, know your listeners, try not to step on any one’s toes. Make that microphone your friend, lastly be in charge at the same time have fun at it.
