DJ Fresh is making his way back to the airwaves and fans couldn’t be more excited. After a four-year break, the iconic radio personality is set to return to 947, bringing his unmatched energy and charm to listeners once again.
Thato “DJ Fresh” Sikwane, known for his booming voice and larger-than-life personality, announced his return to radio in 2024 while keeping the details under wraps.
After teasing fans last year about a possible comeback, the wait is finally over.
Fresh is set to launch a new show on 947 in April and the anticipation is already sky-high.
Speaking to “The South African”, Fresh expressed his excitement: “After nearly four years away, I’m thrilled to return to radio. It’s amazing to go back to doing something I love.”
Fresh’s journey through the world of radio is nothing short of legendary. He first hit the airwaves in 1997 at YFM, where he became a voice for the youth and revolutionised urban radio with his hit show, “The Fresh Drive”.
His bold style and engaging presence made him a household name.
In 2006, he moved to 5FM, spending over a decade shaping the station’s identity with his dynamic approach and relatable content.
Fresh’s ability to connect with his audience has always set him apart, making his show a must-listen experience.
Fresh’s return to 947 marks a new chapter in his illustrious career. His fans have missed his signature style and are eager to hear what he’ll bring to the airwaves this time around.
With hints of a drive-time or breakfast show, there’s no doubt it will have Fresh’s stamp on it: fun, engaging and full of life.
