RISE fm, Mpumalanga’s hottest radio station, has once again reshuffled its line-up.
This fast-growing radio station in the province, and countrywide in general, has over the years attracted big names to its stable, making itself one of the most listened stations in Mzansi.
“We believe it is important to keep the sound of the station fresh, while at the same time not being disruptive to the listener,” said RISE fm’s general manager, Lance Claasen.
“We have accomplished that by introducing some fantastic new talent. We are excited to introduce Carol Hobbs, the 2023 winner in the TV and radio category of M&G 200 young people under 35, to the afternoon drive show to be paired with Bonginkosi Zulu (Thebigzill Onair). We have also added the talented Khutso Mamabolo (Vibe) on Saturday afternoons,” said Claasen.

The hot new shows officially kicked off in the beginning of July, and Claasen thanked the staff who had left the station for the work they had done, and wished them well with their new endeavours.
He also announced the station’s ongoing hunt for up-and-coming talent.
“For listeners with ambitions of being a presenter on RISE fm, go to the myRISEfm app and send a voice message with your best radio link. Spots are still available in the RISE fm line-up for Mpumalanga’s hidden talents, and you could be the next big thing,” he added.
These new changes will see an all-female breakfast team with Jennifer Lubisi (‘JT’) hosting, Zilungile Mnisi on news and Nosipho Hadebe on sport.
JT is now Mpumalanga’s official aunty with the advent of the Kids-in-60sec quiz every morning at 07:10.
She recently hosted a breakfast for kids from eMalahleni and Middelburg.
