Seete ready to take on the radio world
Star vows to remain the same
“I feel like I’m finally ready to conquer the mic,” says Thembi Seete on her radio debut and “takeover”.
After more than 20 years in the entertainment industry, Seete has decided to add to her resumé with a career in radio.
The star will co-host a weekday afternoon show alongside comedian Celeste Ntuli and Zola on DJ Sbu’s new radio venture, Massiv Metro.
“This is something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time. I was actually approached to do a show when YFM first started, but I was busy and I wasn’t very confident. To be honest, I thought I would be a bit boring and I was scared.
“Years later, I was approached to do Massiv Metro and after a lot of convincing, I agreed. I am still very nervous, but I have been going to workshops and I am starting to accept myself and finding my feet,” Seete said.
Seete has promised listeners she will remain as authentic as she’s always been
“My voice won’t change. Neither will my personality. I have always tried to spread positivity and that is what I want to do with my radio show. I want people to feel good and relaxed on the way home. So, no matter how bad their day was, they will be grateful to be alive,” she said.
DJ Sbu said he was excited to have Seete on board.
“I appreciate Thembi’s consistency. She has a longevity. You can take her anywhere and people can relate to her. She also has a humility and professionalism that is just amazing and so I just had to have her on board.”
Seete’s show, The Takeover with Thembi Seete, will air from 4p to 5pm weekdays on Massiv Metro from Tuesday.
