Ukhozi FM gets a new leader

Former Gagasi FM content specialist Makhosi Khoza is joining Ukhozi FM as programmes manager.

According to sources, he’s expected to start work next month.

“Business manager Sbongi Ngcobo has always preferred Makosi. They’re both from Gagasi FM and Sbongi prefers to recruit her staff from Igagasi,” said a source.

“Currently, a significant number of managers at Ukhozi FM, as well as presenters, are from Igagasi FM. It is concerning.”

The position became vacant in October 2021 when the SABC terminated Zandile Tembe’s contract.

According to sources, there was no acting programmes manager for a long period.

“Mandla Mdletshe was acting manager for more than a year and interviewed for the job, but Sbongi simply didn’t want him,” said another source.

“It’s painful because he has proved he knows the job. He has 24 years of experience and is qualified.”

Makhosi, who resigned from Gagasi FM last month, simply laughed when approached for comment, saying: “I cannot confirm that I’m going to Ukhozi FM. I’ll be making an announcement this week.”

SABC spokeswoman Gugu Ntuli confirmed there was a process underway to appoint a programmes manager.

“As a matter of principle, the SABC doesn’t discuss the details of its recruitment processes in the public space,” she said.
