An exciting retention in the 9 am to noon slot is that of the broadcasting powerhouse sis Dudu Khoza, known to her fans as Lady D or Mam’ Khoza or “Nsuku’kayifani” to Ukhozi veterans.
Lady D has been with the station for three decades and remains very popular, boasting a listenership of 2,5 million for her show Jabul’ujule.
I have always admired her down-to-earth nature and how she relates to listeners and callers to her show. She is always friendly, warm, engaging, dignified, very patient and respectful. Her show attracts an array of listeners, from professionals to taxi and truck drivers, hostel dwellers and domestic workers, all eager to share with her their life stories, trials and tribulations.
She asks them: “Umabokoboko”, noma “ubutebhu”, the Lady D version of “going through a lot”, or being on top of the world! Listeners pour their hearts out. Somehow men tend to dominate the show, “Mellow Mam’ Khoza”! It is as if they need a mother figure or a soothing voice and ear and she never disappoints them.
