The former Mbonwa Secondary School pupil said he has been with Intokozo FM for a year and six months.
He added that his passion for radio started in 2019 when he did a three-month radio training course.
“In 2020, I auditioned at Siyathuthuka FM and I was lucky to be selected and worked there for a year and four months. I then joined Intokozo FM where I currently host a Deep House Session every Saturday from midnight to 3am, and Sundays from 1am to 4am,” said Mthembu.
He added that his goal in his career is to inspire young people from rural areas to believe in themselves and not to allow their backgrounds to dictate their career paths and success.
