His contributions to the station’s programming have been vital in maintaining the station’s reputation for quality content.
- Kgomotso Meso (@Kgomotsomeso): Kgomotso brings a fresh perspective and vibrant energy to the show. Her presence on Kaya 959 has added a layer of diversity and depth to the conversations, making the listening experience richer for the audience.
