Popular Algoa FM presenter Kea Zawadi is about to become the first female presenter of the award-winning Algoa FM Top 30, broadcast between 9am and noon on Saturday mornings.<\/p>\n
She takes over from JP Botha, who is moving abroad.<\/p>\n
\u201cTogether with a crisp approach and new imaging for the show, Kea will inject her young and vibrant self into Saturday mornings, bringing a fresh energy, simultaneously transforming a previously male-dominated arena,\u201d says Algoa FM managing director Alfie Jay.<\/p>\n
The twice nominated (as a radio presenter), Zawadi is also a singer, songwriter, content producer and actress who has enjoyed roles in \u201cInconceivable\u201d, \u201cQueer Romantic Comedy,\u201d and \u201c13 Weeks To Find Mr Right\u201d.<\/p>\n
Her move to the Algoa FM Top 30 is accompanied by a new timeslot during the week, with the 7pm to 10pm slot from Mondays to Fridays.<\/p>\n
Queenie Grootboom moves into Kea\u2019s previous slot and will be presenting the 10pm to 2am show from Sundays through to Friday mornings.<\/p>\n
\u201cQueenie has an unmistakable approach, personality, and rapport with our audience.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is fair to say that Queenie is also one of the toughest women in broadcasting, overcoming huge challenges while broadcasting from home over the past four years,\u201d says Jay.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese changes to the line-up are in tune with Algoa FM\u2019s ongoing refreshment of its content, and take effect on 1 July,\u201d adds Jay.<\/p>\n
Recently it was announced that well-known SuperSport anchor Sam Ludidi had joined the station to present Sunday Lunch LIVE from Algoa FM\u2019s Hemingways studio in East London.<\/p>\n
Carly Fields has taken over the early morning 5 to 6am slot to give listeners a cheerful start to the day.<\/p>\n
She also presents the popular Carly on Algoa FM on Saturdays from seven to 10 in the evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
