Thomas Msengana And Skhumba Hlophe Move To A New Timeslot

Kaya 959 ( previously Kaya FM) has announced noteworthy changes to the station’s line-up. Topmost among these is a new breakfast show, 959 Breakfast, which replaces Thomas and Skhumba In The Morning. The new breakfast will be anchored byall-round media personality, Dineo Ranaka, who brings her unmistakable talent for a refreshed take on morning radio. Joining her as co-host is the widely admired Sol Phenduka, who is a natural in connecting with audiences. The combination of Dineo Ranaka and Sol Phenduka gives Kaya 959 an edge in the station’s vision of a 360-degree offering both on air and on the street.

Kgomotso Meso, who has been with Kaya 959 for 11 years, will start listeners’ weekday mornings with an hour of Early Breakfast from 5am to 6am, which is being established as a seamless prequel into 959 Breakfast. Popular duo Thomas Msengana and Skhumba Hlophe who hosted their last morning show on Friday 24 June 2022 will move to a new timeslot. The two have been tasked with a nighttime show, Last Call, on Mondays to Thursdays from 10 PM to 12 AM and Fridays 9 PM to 12 AM.

On weekends, award-winning musician and presenter Khaya Mthethwa showcases his immense capability and versatility as he hosts a new show called Noted from 9 AM to 12 PM on Saturdays. Relationship and marriage coaches Mo and Phindi take the reins on Sunday with their show The Family in the same time slot, while the veteran George Manyosi brings his enthusiasm to Sunday night jazz from 9pm to midnight with Jazz it Up.

Radio as a medium continues to remain a strong platform for connecting people, and radio stations the world over have to constantly assess and adjust to changing needs and lifestyles. These adjustments to the lineup are proof that 25 years since its founding, Kaya 959 is still alive to market demands to consistently provide quality programming. The addition of established names such as Dineo Ranaka, Sol Phenduka, Khaya Mthethwa, and Mo and Phindi, as well as the realigning of our magnificent existing talent are bold steps that Kaya 959 is undertaking to grow the radio station to even greater heights.
