The radio world is about to get a whole lot more exciting as three beloved South African radio personalities — DJ Fresh, Unathi Nkayi, and Keabetswe Boya — are teaming up for an epic comeback to the airwaves. The trio will be launching their new community radio station, 938, on July 18, bringing an exciting new energy to radio, promising listeners an unforgettable experience.
In a recent video posted on social media, the dynamic duo of DJ Fresh and Unathi Nkayi teased their return, explaining that while the pressure of coming back to radio was high, their promise was clear: “We’re working hard behind the scenes to give you a frequency elevation that’s going to hit your souls and ears.” They both shared excitement about reimagining radio and bringing a new level of quality to their audience. DJ Fresh added, “If you loved the quality of the work we did when we were in radio, you’re going to love the next level even more.”
With the countdown on, Unathi Nkayi also shared that she’ll be taking on the 3 PM to 7 PM daily drive-time slot. This is a big moment for Unathi, who expressed her excitement in announcing her own solo show. She revealed her vision for the show, which will include engaging features like ‘Let’s Co-Parent’, a segment aimed at helping people navigate the challenges of co-parenting, and ‘Therapy Tuesday’, where Unathi will invite experts to focus on different types of therapy — from financial and physical to emotional, spiritual, and mental health.
