Robert Marawa, South Africa’s most popular sports anchor, will be joining 947. On Wednesdays at 6 PM, from 1 February, the sportscaster will host his highly rated sports show, Marawa Sports Worldwide, on Primedia’s 947 studios. The show will air for an hour weekdays on 947 at 6 PM, while syndicated on SowetanLIVE, Vuma FM and Rise FM.
Marawa 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.
“With this move, we are raising the game for sport enthusiasts in SA and beyond. For me professionally, this is the best moment in my radio career,” said Marawa.
Listeners can look forward to discussions about sports development and administration, the state of gender and racial transformation as well as real-life stories of how sports have uplifted individuals and communities.
Marawa, widely regarded as Africa’s most popular sportscaster and now author, has spent his successful career interviewing heads of states, international sports stars, legendary soccer icons and club owners. He has interviewed 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.
We have heard our listeners appeal for sports news and so we will be easing drive-time frustrations with a stretch of compelling high-quality sports radio. Listeners can look forward to 60 minutes filled to the brim with the very latest sports news, exclusive exposés and interviews, with real-time updates and insights.
