Given Mathabela

It all started in 1999 when I was discovered by Radio Safari, I never really thought radio was for me but since that a lot has changed. I joined Ligwalagwala fm in the year 2000 and quickly found myself hosting the breakfast show and drive shows there, I left in 2003 for the big lights of Johannesburg, I got involved in event management and marketing while also doing voice over work.  I returned to Mpumalanga in 2004 and continued with event management and running a night club. In 2005 I joined BCR FM as a presenter/ marketing manager/sales rep and hosted the breakfast show and later the drive show. I rejoined Ligwalagwala fm in 2008 and hosted a lifestyle and party show called “the zone” which a lot of popularity and people still call me Mr Zone. I left the station again 2011 and pursued business, got back on radio for short spell at MPowerFM in 2013. In 2014 I joined Rise FM where I hosted the lunchtime show until 2017 when I took to the pulpit as a pastor at God’s purpose global church, in 2022 I joined Lokuhle FM (online station) as a sales and marketing manager and subsequently worked as a station manager until October 2022 when I was co opted to the board of directors.
