“Four years on, we still have so much in-store for our listeners. We will continue to bring the fun to weekday mornings. Along with the show name change, listeners can look forward to a host of exciting new show features centred around giving our audience the funniest start to their day,” says Anele Mdoda, host of the show.
Bold, cheeky and side-splittingly funny – Anele Mdoda needs little introduction. Together with her team, she’s Joburg’s wake-up call, infusing weekday mornings with her non-stop energy and razor-sharp wit. When she’s not in front of the microphone, Mdoda is most likely hanging out with her son, trying out a fab new recipe, immersed in a book or on set shooting another TV show.
Station manager Thando Makhunga says of the changes: “Joburgers love Anele. To live and thrive in this city you need a healthy sense of humour and a positive attitude. Listeners love sharing their lives with her – and she has a knack of tuning into the stories that speak to all of us. Together with ‘The Club’ members, Frankie Du Toit, Thembekile Mrototo, Cindy Poluta and Alex Caige, her show encapsulates the absolute can-do spirit of Joburg even during tough times.”
Makhunga continued: “Anele and the Club on 947 will drive more of the conversations Joburg wants to be a part of, more of the music they love to hear, more news, delivered just the way Joburg likes it. It’s the latest sport and timely traffic updates to help listeners navigate the city. And it’s more feel-good mornings with the breakfast show host who lives and breathes 'fun'.”
The show’s new pay-off line is ‘Joburg’s Most Fun Breakfast Show’.
Hang out with Anele and the Club on 947 every Monday to Friday, 6am to 9pm. Follow @Anele on Twitter and @Zintathu on Instagram.
