Khutso Theledi leaves YFM for Metro FM

Radio personality Khutso Theledi bids goodbye to YFM as she will join Metro FM. She has been with the station since the early 2010s, and she is now a radio powerhouse. Tomorrow is the last show for the presenter, on drive time show called The Lady On Drive. Kutso was the first female to hold the showdown since 2009, when Dineo Ranaka was the presenter. Not many female DJs get the opportunity to have drive time shows on their own in Mzansi, but, Kutso is just that good.

She will be joining Dj Mo Flava on the Metro FM breakfast show. Kudos and Mo have had a great radio relationship over the years. She calls Mo her big brother as they are so close. When Khutso was still starting on Y, she spent some time being a producer for his show. The two will be reuniting, and a spark will reignite on the airwaves.

Metro FM with Mo Flava

The morning drive and drive time are the two biggest slots in the radio world. In the morning, people commute to school and work; in the afternoon, it’s pretty much the same story. She is not leaving a big slot for a small irrelevant slot, and she will uphold her relevance in the radio world.

DJs who left YFM for Metro FM

People say you aren’t a radio presenter without ever working on YFM. Of course, that’s not entirely true, but many radio hosts started on Y. Mo Flava; for instance, he was on the YFM drive time slot before joining Metro. Mpho Maboi is now a sports anchor, but she also moved from Y to Metro. Dineo Ranaka, now on Metro FM, was once on YM. Bonang Matheba, Bujy Bikwa, Unathi Nkayi and Dj Sabby are also part of the lot. Although some outgrew Metro, like Bujy, Bonang and Unathi, they all went through a similar right of passage.

Her Radio journey

She started being a radio presenter for a weekend show. She also tried her hand at radio production with an eagerness to learn. She persevered by being a stand-in presenter for her radio colleagues. Her big break happened when she got the midday slot, and she stayed on that show for over two years. After Dj Sabby left YFM, Khutso got his drive time slot. Fans commended her for reaching that level.

Khutso’s replacement on YFM

April the 1st is the day most radio stations change their new shows and presenters. People think the new drive time slot presenters will be Nia Brown and Mtaux, but others believe it can be Extreme or Dj Sabtha.
