Earlier this year, they announced a new radio line-up, which was supposed to last for a year, until the next reshuffle. Kaya 959 has again made drastic changes. The first change was made with the grand exit of former managing director Sibongile Mtyali who took the station to the Labour Court for unfair dismissal, which has since been resolved with a payout. Sibongile was dismissed after radio host, Unathi Nkayi, was fired following a fall out with a colleague and social media qwerty warrior Sizwe Dlomo. Then recently, Dineo Rakana was let go after a mental breakdown which led her to being absent from work. Since then, a radio reshuffle has been made- again.

 

NEW CHANGES

 

This week, Kaya 959 has bid farewell to DJ Sammy T and Phindi who hosted the Saturday and Sunday from 06h00 to 09h00 shows. MaBlerh who hosted The Weekend Update with MaBlerh has been moved to the weekdays at 5 am until 6 am slot. Kgomotso Meso has been moved from early breakfast on weekdays to take over the Weekend Breakfast show from 06h00 - 09h00, previously hosted by MaBlerh. 

 

MABLERH MAKING STRIDES

 

MaBlerh, real name Mthokozisi Cele has been a listeners' favourite since he started on radio. Last year, he bagged a gig as the host of

 season three finale of The Real Housewives. "I jumped at this opportunity as a Durbanite," MaBlerh said. "The reunion of The Real Housewives has never been hosted by someone from Durban before... someone who understands the landscape and social dynamics of us as Durbanites." MaBlerh is no stranger to the spotlight. He is also a TV fave, having been a panelist on Black Conversations, the co-host of the SABC3 talk show Trending SA, and in the cast of Isibaya as Justice Mnguni. The former publicist and blogger has a Bachelor of Economics from Rhodes University.
