Popular DJs return to Algoa FM

3 May 2010

"With Slyso (Sizwe Saliso) and Buli G back on air, we expect the weekend figures in particular to grow. They are two of the best presenters in the country and appeal to a very wide audience," says Algoa FM managing director Dave Tiltmann. He was commenting on the return of both DJs to the radio station from the end of April 2010.

Buli G will take up Friday nights between 9pm and 1am Saturday morning, while Slyso will take to the airwaves at 9pm Saturday night until 1am Sunday mornings.

Background

Slyso worked as an intern on the former Radio Algoa more than 12 years ago, before joining CKI fm (now Tru fm), and then Umhlobo Wenene. He is also the founder and head of 4ward Movement Entertainment and acts as DJ and emcee for national events around the country.

"After years of waking our Xhosa speaking Nation on Umhlobo, Slyso will be bringing his unique style to commercial English radio," says Algoa FM programme director Alfie Jay.

Buli G started at Algoa FM in 2002 and left in November 2007 to join 94.7 Highveld Stereo. She is back in the Eastern Cape working as marketing manager for the new soccer stadium.

“We appreciate that marketing the stadium is her full-time focus and the World Cup is just around the corner. Nonetheless, Buli had a good following on the station and we're pleased that she's back," says Jay.
