Johannesburg - Seasoned radio broadcaster Unathi Nkayi has expressed victory for her family after her former husband — and father of their two children — Thomas Msengana was recently announced as the new replacement for Kaya 959's weekday mornings slot, in lieu of former breakfast host, Sizwe Dhlomo.

Msengana hosted the station's weekend mornings slot.

In a statement issued by the radio station, Msengana has now taken over the weekday mornings slot from media personality Sizwe Dlhomo who had announced his immediate departure from the station, on the 27th of May, on his Siz the World breakfast show.

Nkayi worked for the station before she was given the boot over a work-related conflict on the station between herself and the now former breakfast show host, Sizwe Dlhomo.

She took to Instagram to share the news with her followers in a post that has garnered congratulatory messages from DJ Black Coffee, Prince Kaybee, Celeste Ntuli, Ayanda Borotho, Loyiso Bala and DJ S'bu amongst some who cheered with her.

"Tata waboooo CAMAGU (My babies' daddy)," she enthused at a professional picture taken of Msengana with the station's logo.

Acting Managing Executive at Kaya 959, David Tiltmann said that Sizwe had brought a singular presence to Kaya 959.

"He is a broadcaster with a strong point of view, a deep understanding of the world around him and a rare ability to provoke thought and conversation. We are grateful for the role he has played on our breakfast show and for the connection he has built with listeners," he said.

"During June, the 06:00 to 09:00 weekday breakfast slot will be hosted by Thomas Msengana , ensuring listeners continue [to] wake up to a familiar voice from the station while Kaya prepares for the next chapter in its morning offering," read the statement.
