"2022 is my 20th anniversary as a broadcaster. I have been with the company for 14 years; Primedia formed part of my personal and professional growth. They are like family to me," says Mdoda.

"Signing a five-year contract with Primedia is a testament to the new vision of new group CEO Jonathan Procter. Procter brings with him global standards and perspectives to broadcasting and entertainment," adds Mdoda.

In April, 947 announced that the host would be travelling to different countries to explore leading trends in radio broadcasting and entertainment. Mdoda's return aims to breathe new life into radio and the 947-breakfast show Anele and the Club on 947.
 
Mdoda and 947's long-standing commitment was celebrated through a power shoot featuring the breakfast radio darling and Phumzile Langeni, chair of Primedia Broadcasting. 

"We are fortunate to be driven by the crystal clear and contagiously compelling vision of Procter, whose stewardship heralds bigger and greater ideas for the future of our business," says Langeni. "At Primedia, it is all about validating our people. When our people succeed, we succeed … There is so much more that we need to still see from Anele."

Mdoda returns to Anele and the Club on 947 at the beginning of July. Until then, listeners can catch Thando Thabethe who joins regular club members Frankie, Thembekile and Cindy from 06:00 to 09:00 on weekdays.
