5FM offers new voices, new names and changes line-up

This year the station looks to inject plenty of fresh talent into mainstream radio.


5FM has announced their line-up changes for 2021 which includes a new breakfast lineup.

Dan Corder from sister station Good Hope FM takes over the reins of weekday breakfast.

The Capetonian, who cut his teeth at campus radio, is joined by Mathapelo Moloi on News, Xoli Zondo on sport, and Marli van Eeden on traffic.

Mathapelo hails from the Eastern Cape whose love for news and current affairs saw her work in various newsrooms around the country.

Xoli got her start in the industry on community TV, followed by her win of the 2013 National SABC Sports Presenter Search, which led her to work on SA FM’s weekend breakfast show for the past few years.

Marli also has community radio experience gained while co-hosting a breakfast show on a campus radio station in Stellenbosch.

Corder says, “5FM has always been the coolest radio station in my world. It is the station of the future where, together with our loyal 5FM fans across the country, I can make the radio of my dreams.”
