“I am truly humbled and grateful to the bosses at Kaya959 for trusting me with this new show. I am beyond thrilled and cannot wait to connect with our amazing listeners through a great soulful playlist. I look forward to great on-air moments and to just having fun- a great way to start my new year,”

Dlwati said of his new role. Sibongile Mtyali, the station’s Managing Director said listeners should look forward to going down memory lane with Xola.

“We’re very excited to have Xola on board to host this brand-new spectacular soulful show that will focus on romantic, tender and sweet music for those times when the heart wants what the heart wants. Sundays are an easy and perfect day to relax, reconnect and rekindle your love and this show provides a perfect platform and mood for those who just love falling in love. Every Sunday, our listeners will be taken down memory lane of their love stories and will be reminded how beautiful love can really be.”

Xola’s appointment at Kaya was the result of a new training programme launched by the station to promote new and local talent. Other newbies at the station include G’s Up, host Tyroline Franks and sportscaster Oarabile Diphoko.

Sowetans will remember Xola from his days at Eldos FM where he spent most of his radio career. Dlwati is also an engineer and a graduate of the Wits Radio Academy. In addition to his new show, he will still continue his usual morning slot of Monday to Friday from 2:00 am to 5:00 am.
