Kaya 959 has announced that veteran broadcaster DJ Fresh, real name Thato Sikwane, will take over the station's flagship breakfast show. This follows the sudden exit of Sizwe Dhlomo, which was announced just two days prior on May 28, 2026.
DJ Fresh, known for his long tenure at YFM and Metro FM, is expected to bring his signature energy to the morning slot. The station confirmed the move in a statement, highlighting his experience in South African radio.
Dhlomo's departure from Kaya 959 came as a surprise to listeners, with the station citing personal reasons. No further details about his exit have been provided.
The new breakfast show lineup is set to begin on June 1, 2026, with DJ Fresh co-hosting alongside existing team members.
