SEDIBENG.- Thetha FM’s Mid-Morning Avenue Show, which is hosted by the vibrant pair of Mimizana Malindi and Nomsa Ninkies, known as ‘Basadi ba Sthepu’, won an award over the weekend under the category: The best Midmorning Show.

  music

“We cover health issues, legal matters, social issues, and family matters with our experts to build solid relations weekly. We cater for the modern working class, the elite, and ordinary people within our reach. It is a breath of fresh air to know that even during tea breaks, a teacher, an attorney, a doctor, a shebeen owner, a student taking a gap year, a gogo and mkhulu including our street vendors, salon owners and business people tune in religiously on a daily basis,” said Ninkies and Malindi, the hosts, who are both informed and entertaining, funny and highly skilled with years of experience on air.
