DJ Sbu, real name Sibusiso Leope, has returned to mainstream radio after nearly a decade away. The media personality, entrepreneur, and philanthropist has joined premium national urban adult contemporary radio station Radio 2000, where he will anchor the breakfast show in place of Lewis Mpotseng Tshinaba popularly known as Glen Lewis, who is leaving the station.
DJ Sbu promises that South Africa’s mornings will never be the same again and will be joined by the current team of Nathi Ndamase as the co-host and Lelo Mzaca as the sports anchor. As part of the show’s introduction, listeners will have an opportunity to give the show a name with prizes up for grabs. Until then, it will be the #NoNameBreakfastShow weekdays from 6 AM – 9 AM.
Award-winning producer, artist, businessman, DJ, and Wits graduate Tlou Cleopas Monyepao, popularly known as DJ Cleo, will be joining the station. With his wealth of musical knowledge, he will host a brand-new dance show, The Eskhaleni Party, on Fridays from 10 PM – 12 AM. He will kick-start the weekends and play his mixes on selected station shows.
The rest of the weekday daytime lineup remains unchanged with the vibrant Ntombi Phiri on Better Together, 9 AM–12 PM; David Mashabela returns with another season of The Royal Playground, 12 PM–3 PM and Paul Mnisi drives listeners home together with his team Isaac Gampu and Lonwabo Nkohla on sports duty on The Drive Connection, 3 PM–6 PM.
RADIO 2000 is blessed to have a team of passionate professional broadcasters and talent who understand the vision of being a listener centric station targeting our iYouth Endala listeners. We welcome our new talent and know that they fit our presenter profile who understand our target audience and will assist in further creating an environment for our commercial stakeholders to thrive. As part of our offering in the new radio year, we look forward to the launch of our brand-new bespoke RADIO 2000 website and APP to keep us even closer to our listeners.
