Popular presenter Nokubonga Blaq Maci will soon be leaving her Seza Umphefumlo show.
Umhlobo Wenene loses Blaq Maci after eight years with the station
YET another Umhlobo Wenene FM DJ is leaving the station to join TruFM. Nokubonga Blaq Maci will join TruFM from April 1. She will present Mid-Morning Blend – a lifestyle and magazine show that airs daily from 9am to noon.
Known as Blaq to her legions of fans, the DJ’s Sunday gospel show Seza Umphefumlo has more than a million listeners tuning in.
She will join Zikho Mgayi as a co-host on Mid-Morning Blend.
Maci’s move comes just after former Umhlobo Wenene DJ Luks Gidane also migrated to TruFM. He started at the beginning of this month.
Maci said she was leaving the station for TruFM as she felt there was more space for her on air on a fulltime basis.
“I still want to make an impact on air and I feel TruFM is a great platform for me to do that. It is a vibrant station that is growing and I want to be part of that,” she said.
Maci, who has been with Umhlobo Wenene for eight years, said she had learnt a lot at the station.
She would take away one very important lesson – “the basics and simplicity of being on radio”.
“I have a lot of memories with Umhlobo, but there is one that stands out – when I heard my current show had reached a million listeners.
“I will miss the people that I worked with as I had the pleasure of working with awesome people,” Maci said.
Maci started her radio career at Border Tech FM while studying towards a national certificate in broadcasting.
