Johannesburg – Monday, 31 March 2025 – As we step into another radio year, RADIO 2000 is excited to present the team that will be at the helm of the continued success of the biggest adult contemporary radio station in South Africa.

The growth of the station is attributed to amongst other things the stability of its on-air talent over the recent years and the ability to meet its target audience needs. RADIO 2000’s affinity with audiences continues to grow with its recent inaugural Family Day, which attracted over 3000 people at the sold-out Fat Olive venue in Johannesburg. With the success of the inaugural event, listeners can look forward to more of these events across the country.

While no major changes are expected, a few adjustments will be introduced from 1 April 2025, to further enhance the listening experience of our listeners. Much loved and smooth-talking presenter, Bambo Johnson who has been with the station for thirteen (13) years will kick start your day with a brand-new show, The Midnight Paradise, Monday to Friday, between 00:00-03:00. The show promises to cater for night owls looking for a companion with the best in musical offerings, a touch of nostalgia and an introduction to a new sound of music on RADIO 2000 that you would need to tune in to hear. Bambo will retain his musically acclaimed Sunday show, The Comfort Zone from 12:00 – 15:00. On Saturday 29 March 2025, Bambo presented the final show for The Groove Connexion, which aired between 21:00-00:00 and has come to an end.

A second edition of Es’khaleni Party presented by award-winning producer, artist and hitmaker DJ Cleo will replace this time channel. DJ Cleo will now host the Es’khaleni Party, Fridays from 22:00 – 00:00 and Saturdays from 21:00 – 00:00. The Saturday edition of the show will be positioned to visit different establishments around the country, so expect the Es’khaleni Party with DJ Cleo at an establishment near you.

Joining the RADIO 2000 family is the well-travelled, all round radio and television broadcaster Sechaba Gqeba. She has a career spanning over 15 years across community, commercial and national radio, Sechaba who cut her teeth at Vaal Community Radio, later moving onto EWN as a news intern, then Kaya FM, KFM in Cape Town, with her last radio stint being on our sister station SAfm where she presented the lifestyle weekday program, Living Redefined.

Sechaba takes over the very competitive Sunday time channel 15:00 – 18:00 with a brand-new show called The Sunday Reset, which is positioned to do exactly that, reset our listeners and prepare them for the week ahead through soulful sounds, inspirational conversations and musical mixes presented by the Sunset Sessions duo of DJ Nkosh and DJ Mphulo.

The rest of your favourite weekday and weekend lineup remains unchanged, as we prepare to take our iYouth Endala listeners on another journey of making musical memories.

Fortune Combo Business Manager, Mr Anthony Soglo said ”We have an incredible team of on and off-air talent that knows how to connect with our audiences, and we’re excited about the plans we have in store for the coming year. This season, we are turning it up a notch especially with our on the ground activations and events across the country, so as to create more touch points with our audiences. With the launch of our new RADIO 2000 app, which can be downloaded on any phone, we encourage our listeners to take us with them wherever they go so as not to miss out on anything.”
