Radio stations across South Africa are ushering in a new era with updated lineups, and Ukhozi FM is no exception. The station recently revealed its 2025/2026 schedule, which notably excludes Siya Mhlongo, a prominent figure who has been embroiled in controversy following allegations of assault and stabbing in 2024.
Ukhozi FM Parts Ways With Siya
Siya Mhlongo, who left Ukhozi FM in 2022 during his afternoon drive show, returned in 2023 after a brief stint at Metro FM. His return was met with mixed reactions, and his recent exit has sparked speculation about the reasons behind it.

Taking over Mhlongo’s 8pm to 12am slot from Monday to Thursday is Nkosinathi Mshengu, a seasoned broadcaster with a growing fan base. Mshengu’s appointment is expected to bring fresh energy to the evening show, offering listeners a new perspective and engaging content.
