947 station manager Thando Makhunga says, "Thabethe has over a decade of experience in the entertainment industry and has proven to be a successful and gifted presenter during her time on various radio stations."
"She is a young, dynamic and multi-talented woman, whose drive and ambition is a great example for all aspirational South Africans with the courage to reach and work for their dreams. She represents the spirit, curiosity and energy of the modern
947 listener," adds Makhunga.
"We are thrilled that she has chosen
947 for her return to radio. Commercially,
947 continues to deliver a compelling proposition that partners with our clients to bring their brands alive," says Makhunga.
"I am really excited to be returning to radio and to have been approached by Joburg's coolest frequency is just fantastic. I have always loved the radio as a medium to genuinely connect with people through music and conversation," says Thabethe.
"I believe that music is a true leveller, bringing people together in a place and time that is just about what they are hearing and how it makes them feel. I can't wait to get behind the mic and contribute to our
947 audience's listening experience," adds Thabethe.
As part of the changes to the
Drive Time show,
947 has bid farewell to Mantsoe Pout.
"We wish Pout well in her future endeavours. Final
947-line up changes will be revealed on Thursday, 11 March," concludes the station.
