It’s gonna be a howler in the Mother City on Sundays.
The “Big Dawg” of SA radio, DJ Fresh (real name Thato Sikwane) has joined the weekend line-up on Cape Town radio station, Kfm.
The seasoned broadcaster has been on air since Sunday on his new #FreshSundaze show, from 3pm to 7pm.
Fresh, who joined Kfm’s sister station 947 in Joburg in August as their new drive time presenter, takes over from Tim Thabethe, who left the station two months ago.
The 46-year-old says: “There’s always been a soulfulness to Cape Town that other regions lack. Audiences here seem to have almost a higher appreciation of music, especially the golden oldies and tried and tested music like R&B.”
Fresh says he is planning to reflect the laid-back Sunday vibe in the city.
“I’m not one to have a ‘know it all’ approach to things, I’m here to learn and grow with the Mother City audience.”
While the playlist for the show won’t be a drastic change to Kfm’s usual drive time music offerings - “it’s researched, tried and tested and it works”, says Fresh - there will still be some exciting new features, like Fresh’s 5@5 which will see the DJ mixing one listener’s favourite tracks into an exclusive mix.
