It’s a powerful combination that promises standout moments for both our listeners and our clients. We can’t wait for everyone to tune in.”
But that’s not all! Evenings on 947 are in the capable hands of the fabulous Bolele, who takes over the 7 to 10pm slot with her new show, The Frequency on 947. A familiar face on early morning television, Bolele brings vibrant energy, insightful commentary, and fresh ideas to the night. Get ready for clever campaigns, hearty laughs, and late-night vibes that are uniquely her own.
And let’s not forget about the weekend. Matt Flax continues to be the heartbeat of the 947 Weekender, infusing the station with his signature creative flair. Every Sunday, expect uniquely curated content, seamless digital integration, and plenty of delightful surprises. From broadcasting live from his bicycle during the iconic 947 Ride Joburg cycle race to pushing the boundaries of weekend radio from a sauna, Matt knows how to keep things interesting, playful, and just the way our 947 listeners like it.
So, Gauteng, mark your calendars and get ready to turn up the volume! With Msizi and Thando back together, Bolele lighting up your evening, and Matt keeping your weekends fresh, 947 is the place to be for the ultimate radio experience this winter.
