Felix Hlophe set to return on air

Radio presenter Felix Hlophe has officially confirmed his return to the airwaves, ending weeks of speculation following his unexpected absence during the festive season.

The popular broadcaster is set to resume his on-air duties on January 19, 2026, after taking a short break linked to a private family dispute involving his in-laws.

While the situation sparked curiosity among listeners, Hlophe has remained guarded about the details, choosing instead to focus on moving forward.

Hlophe announced his comeback on social media, sharing a brief but meaningful message that immediately caught the attention of fans and industry peers.

“January 19 2026. God first. Kuguqa phansi konke [kneel down],” he wrote.

According to sources close to the presenter, the family matter has since been resolved, allowing him to step back into the studio with renewed clarity and purpose.

His post was quickly met with warm messages of support, with fans applauding him for taking time away to prioritise personal issues before returning to work.
