In a media statement released mid-March the national broadcaster announced that the station will switch up its daytime and weekend line-up.

Award-winning presenter and MC, Tshatha Ngobe, is making a return to the drive time show from 15:00 – 18:00. Following some damning claims he made in 2020 about the station’s infamous ‘song of the year’, the presenter was moved to the graveyard and weekend slots as “punishment” in 2021. Now, however, he is back in the driver’s seat and will be re-joined by Selby ‘Selbyonce’ Mkhize Daytime radio host Bheka ‘Beekay’ Mchunu is making a much-anticipated return to Sigiya Ngengoma – which is the Saturday maskandi show hosted from 09:00-12:00. Mchunu will take over from Zimdollar who will now co-host the daytime show every weekday with Sifiso ‘King Sifiso’ Sibiya. Ukhozi FM is also moving into the TV world with a vodcast show. The show, which is said to air on Mondays to Fridays, will be hosted by Siyabonga Mhlongo.
