In a shocking announcement made on radio this morning, Jacaranda FM’s breakfast host Rian Van Heerden has apologized to his fans in advance as he reveals that the next 12 months at the station will be his last. However, he has promised that in the year ahead, he will create some of the best radio South Africa has ever seen!
“I apologise in advance for the tears, laughter and for pushing your buttons as I share with Jacaranda FM’s beloved listeners everything I have dreamed of doing,” Rian says. “Radio is about a deep connection and I have always used my platform on Jacaranda FM to create the most meaningful content. In the months to come I plan as a start to have a marathon party weekend, to broadcast from exotic locations around Africa and to provide complimentary breakfast experiences in traffic”.
General Manager for Jacaranda FM, Kevin Fine said, “Rian is an incredible talent, someone who can tell a story and inspire all sorts of emotions. Over the next months, Rian will be sure to leave a legacy he will be proud of. Our listeners are in for an amazing treat and this will be the best listening experience”.
Jacaranda FM has not made any decisions regarding Rian’s replacement. More details regarding Rian’s Radio Bucket List will be revealed on air.
Rian has become one of the leading radio personalities in South Africa so I will definitely be sad to see him go. However, we’re sure he has some exciting things up his sleeve and I can’t wait to find out what that is!

Nee man ek is sommer klaar hartseer. Waar gaan jy heen. Nee dit sal nooit weer dieselfde wees nie.
Rian, hoe op aarde dink jy gaan ek nou kan kosmaak in die middae sonder jou op die radio. Wat ookal jy gaan doen, hoop ons net die beste vir jou toe. Wie gaan my nou laat lag of my oe laat rol? Ag asseblief, ek hoop Jacarands het iemand oulik vir die pos alhoewel niemand dieselfde kan wees nie, jy is ‘n yster. Love love love die feit dat jy baie mense se middae in die verkeer draaglik gemaak het!!!!
