Political analyst and sociologist, Tessa Dooms has been announced as the host of Power FM's breakfast show from March.
Dooms is the latest addition to the Power FM family after former Economic Freedom Fighters spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi was announced as the new host of the Power Talk after he recently announced he would be leaving party politics after he was suspended by the EFF for failing to inform the leadership of Floyd Shivambu's then imminent departure to the MK Party.
