What show do you host?

When and how did your career start?

1996 – 2007 I started working for community radio platforms (Campus Bay fm now known as Bay fm, now defunct Ubuntu fm and Nkqubela fm) performing duties as sports anchor and including programming which is an important planning stage in broadcasting. These twelve years have fine tuned my skills in dealing with community based sports affairs such as developmental sport, and this environment helped prepare me for the public broadcast market, where also grassroots sports are elevated to issues of national importance. My passion and love for grassroots sport was nurtured during these years. 2007 I then started at Umhlobo Wenene fm as a sports anchor on weekends (15:00-18:00 Sat and Sun).
