ICYMI: Thando Thabethe Set To Replace Poppy On 5FM!

We can officially call this the Thando Thabethe Year!

The radio and TV personality has had herself quite the successful year, from scoring a big role on Generations to purchasing a brand new whip and she even got to meet the Jenner sisters, she’s got nice life problems.

The 25-year-old is yet to add to her success as she has been selected to replace Poppy in the 10am-1pm slot on 5FM, Mondays to Friday.

According to the station manager Justine Cullinan, Thando has proved herself deserving of the job.

“Thando has proved her ability to tell great stories on radio and engage with 5FM’s unique community both as a contributor on the Roger Goode Show and as host of Beats by Demand on Sundays. We are delighted that she will be stepping into Poppy’s shoes in the New Year,” said Cullinan.

Thando also adds that she’s quite excited about the opportunity that she’s been given.

“I’m beyond excited and honoured to host a daytime show next year. I’ve worked in the radio environment for almost seven years and hosting my own show has always been a goal of mine. I plan make it my best work yet,” she says.
