Fans have been begging Thando Thabethe to make her highly-anticipated radio return for years and it’s finally happening! Thando Thabethe will be taking over from DJ Fresh on the 947 Drive show, now dubbed “947 Drive with Thando” (weekdays from 15:00 – 19:00) – and promises a whole lot of fun as she is joined by seasoned broadcaster Alex Caige.
Recognised for her savvy approach to her career, Thabethe embodies the rewards of hard work and determination. In fact, she has been making waves since cutting her teeth in radio as a student presenter on UJFM. Thando is known for her distinctive style, bringing her own flavour of music and conversation to everything she does. Over the years, she has developed an accessible and engaging rapport with her audiences, creating real connections and appealing to a broad and inclusive fan-base that spans the wider South African audience.
“I am really excited to be returning to radio and to have been approached by Joburg’s coolest frequency, 947 – is just fantastic. I have always loved the radio as a medium to genuinely connect with people through music and conversation. I believe that music is a true leveller, bringing people together in a place and time that is just about what they are hearing and how it makes them feel. I can’t wait to get behind the mic and contribute to our 947 audience’s listening experience,” comments Thando Thabethe.
947 Station Manager Thando Makhunga says, “Thando has over a decade of experience in the entertainment industry and has proven to be a successful and gifted presenter during her time on various radio stations. She is a young, dynamic and multi-talented woman, whose drive and ambition is a great example for all aspirational South Africans with the courage to reach – and work – for their dreams. She represents the spirit, curiosity and energy of the modern 947 listener. We are thrilled that she has chosen 947 for her return to radio. Commercially, 947 continues to deliver a compelling proposition that partners with our clients to bring their brands alive.”
However, the changes have also meant that the high-spirited and effervescent Mantsoe Pout will be leaving the station.
947 Drive with Thando premieres on 947 on 23 March and this is what you can expect:
