Cathy Mohlahlana, KG Moeketsi, Ernest Pillay and Patricia Ntuli will be joining SAfm, the SABC has announced.

The SABC said in a statement that as South Africa’s only national talk radio station, SAfm had to continually refresh, strengthen and rotate talent to “ensure that it leads the conversation as it has in the last 83 years”.

Its existing talent, and the introduction of new personalities, would ensure it remained current and attractive to its audience, the SABC added.

SAfm’s acting station manager, Kina Nhlengethwa, said it was “vital to keep abreast [of] and adapt to the ever changing media landscape and serve our audiences holistically. The station would like to welcome all the new presenters to the SAfm family, and wish them well. The changes to the SAfm line-up aim to ensure that we remain relevant, exciting and ultimately deliver more on our public mandate”.
