After losing industry faves Mdu Tha Party, Thabo Mhapha, Boineelo Hardy and Brando Keabilwe, Yarona FM has vowed that they will not be letting go of any presenters anytime soon.

Speaking at the launch of the station’s new weekday program lineup, Yarona FM Station Manager Bonni Dintwa said: “We are well aware that listeners create a special bond with the presenters, and as unfortunate as it was to lose those that left, we are determined to ensure that our current presenters stick around for at least 24 months.”

Yarona FM has been making a lot of switch ups, especially in the past year, something which irked listeners.

In early May 2022, the renowned Big Breakfast Show came to an end after host Boineelo Hardy terminated her contract with the station.

Thereafter, a new Breakfast show dubbed ‘Re Daa!’was introduced, hosted by Thabo Mhapha, Ndeeps and LB.

Shortly after, Mhapha left to pursue a Master’s Degree outside the country.

At around the same time, Mdu tha Party also moved to RB2.

The new route that has been taken is to bring in Oratile Kefitlhile, Kagiso Fox Phatsimo and Ndeeps on to the morning show.

Acknowledging her return to the youthful station, Kefitlhile said “I am excited about coming back to Yarona FM, and I am glad that I am coming back when it is cleaner and swept.”
