He is a well-loved and experienced radio and TV broadcaster. Robert Marawa, affectionately known among his fans as Madluphuthu is set to join the team at 947 to host his highly acclaimed sports show, Marawa Sports Worldwide (#MSW), live from Primedia's 47 studios on weekdays at 6 pm from Wednesday, 1 February.
JOINING A NEW TEAM
In a statement from Primedia, CEO Lindile Xoko says they made a bold move that will benefit sports fans across the nation and beyond. " I am delighted that Primedia has joined forces with Robert Marawa who is recognised worldwide as a sports authority and is a respected broadcaster,' Xoko says. Ravi Naidoo, the station manager at 947 says Robert's new show will expand their radio offerings. "Listeners can look forward to sixty minutes filled to the brim with the very latest sports news, exclusive exposés, and interviews, with real-time updates and insights,"
THE RIGHT TIME
This comes at a crucial time in Roberts's career after having gone through some financial difficulties. Last year ZiMoja reported that a financial service provider was looking to repossess his Mercedes Benz AMG after he allegedly failed to pay the balloon payment, amounting to over R1 million. In the report, the dealership was granted a court order to cancel the sales agreement and repossess the car in August. Robert describes the move to Primedia as "the best moment' in his radio career. "My move to Primedia is both historic and exciting in creating a wider reach for all #MSW fans, especially for Gauteng residents who have been complaining about being left out.' He adds how grateful the company for seeing things in a futuristic manner. "With this move, we are raising the game for sports enthusiasts in South Africa and beyond.' Robert's career has been one colorful journey, from interviewing heads of state, international sports stars, prominent sports icons, and club owners such as the likes of Patrice Motsepe, former President Nelson Mandela, former FIFA President Sepp Blatter, Usain Bolt, Serena Williams, and so many more, bringing their stories to the community.
