- Former EFF member Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi joins PowerFM as the new host of PowerTalk, marking a shift from politics to broadcasting.
- Ndlozi recently left party politics to focus on education and community work, saying he had made his contribution to politics.
Former EFF spokesperson Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi has landed a new job as host of PowerTalk on PowerFM which he will start next month.
Ndlozi shared the news on Friday while chatting to Given Mkhari in Johannesburg.
The radio station confirmed his appointment.
“Power 98.7 is proud to announce a major addition to our broadcasting team: Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, widely recognized as one of the most dynamic and influential voices of his generation. Dr Ndlozi will host POWER Talk from next month.
“With his formidable ability to offer thought-provoking insights and engage audiences in meaningful dialogue, Dr Ndlozi is set to enrich our listeners’ experience with challenging new perspectives.
“His presence promises to build on Power 98.7’s commitment to fostering engaging and constructive conversations about the pivotal issues that shape our society and the world,” the station said.
Ndlozi said he was looking forward to his new job.
“Radio is a powerful medium for challenging norms and sparking meaningful conversations. I’m excited to take on this role at Power 98.7, and to ensure there is a vibrant platform for listeners to be engaged, challenged, and empowered – and to articulate their views on the state of our nation and our world.”
Just last week, Ndlozi told South Africans he was leaving politics to spend more time on education and helping communities.
“I am leaving party politics, I believe I have made my contribution in that space,” he said.
“We don’t live in a one-party state, we are not in camps or a band. Politics in South Africa is a free activity, and party politics are not the only way to contribute to society.”
Ndlozi was a Member of Parliament before his resignation.
