DJ Sabby

“Growing up in a Christian home, I think it’s very important that my son understands the meaning behind the Easter holidays,” said Metro FM’s DJ Sabby.

The broadcaster said he still feels like a new dad and with his child not at school, he uses such days to spend time with him and the rest of his family.

“This has become a very exciting moment for me. There’s a moment of learning and a moment of being together as a family.”
