- 5FM

This year marks my 20th year in broadcasti­ng and 13th year in radio and so I can’t think of a better way to celebrate this huge milestone in my career than with a brand new show’

As she celebrates two decades in the broadcasti­ng industry, child star and former YoTV personalit­y Karabo Ntshweng has bagged a new time slot on 5FM.

On Monday, Ntshweng took over the popular 5 Nights time slot, which broadcasts on the youth station every MondayThur­sday between 7-10pm.

“This year marks my 20th year in broadcasti­ng and 13th year in radio and so I can’t think of a better way to celebrate this huge milestone in my career than with a brand new show!” Ntshweng said.

In a statement, the radio personalit­y said she was excited to take over a show that has its finger on the pulse of all things new and trendy.

“5 Nights champions local music and gives a platform to new and upcoming artists and I’m ecstatic to be on a platform that champions young people!

“The show will not only be jam packed with epic tunes, but will give a fresh take on topics that you could have missed during the day, while introducin­g you to amazing guests and talent across the country and the right dose of entertainm­ent.

“Expect big energy and good vibes — that’s what 5 Nights is all about.”

Throughout her career, Ntshweng has proven to be a formidable force.

Ntshweng spent seven years at Johannesbu­rg-based station 947, hosting various shows while working behind the scenes as a digital producer for the Primedia Group.

In 2020, she moved to 5FM, where she made her weekday debut on 5 Early Mornings.

“To be a working broadcaste­r 20 years on blows my mind because I feel like the time has passed by so quickly,” Ntshweng said.

“I look forward to continue to tell the most amazing stories, to continue to unearth talent and to entertain, educate and inspire audiences around the country — while having all the fun in the world that I have been having over the past 20 years.

“This milestone is incredibly special for me and I am so grateful for the journey so far.

“Waking up every single day doing what I love is such a privilege and a huge responsibi­lity.

“It’s something that I do not take for granted.” —
