Anele Mdoda is celebrating 20 years on radio in a big way, even though she’s currently not on her show, Anele and the Breakfast Club. The TV & Radio Personality has just signed a new five-year deal with Primedia’s 947.
According to Primedia Broadcasting, the owners of 947, the new deal is the company’s way to bring certainty and significance to an industry it believes is “littered with short-term engagements.”
“2022 is my 20th anniversary as a broadcaster. I have been with the company for 14 years, Primedia formed part of my personal and professional growth. They are like family to me,” said Mdoda.
We are fortunate to be driven by the crystal clear and contagiously compelling vision of Jonathan, whose stewardship heralds bigger and greater ideas for the future of our business.At Primedia, it is all about validating our people. When our people succeed, we succeed. There is so much more that we need to still see from Anele.

Mdoda announced in April that she would be taking a two-month holiday from the Anele and The Breakfast Club to explore new and evolving broadcasting and entertainment trends, while also interrogating world best practices which will revive the show on her return.
While she’s currently off air and living her best life in America with her son Alakhe, Mdoda’s popular breakfast show Anele and the Club on 947 will return on July 1. In the meantime, afternoon drive host Thando Thabethe has been holding the fort on Mdoda’s breakfast show. Thabethe joins regular members Frankie, Thembekile and Cindy from 6 AM to 9 AM weekdays.
