With 20 year's experience, he and his team were at the helm of the sustainability study done for ICASA prior to the issuing of the three new commercial licences in Gauteng, KZN and the Western Cape. The licensing has not yet been issued. During this time, he also wrote several articles for the Media Magazine, which touched on a number of radio related issues. He also assisted in the setting up of MPowerFM in Mpumalanga.

MD Greg Maloka says; "Where commercial radio saw a decline of 0.3%, our station has experienced significant growth of 6% in the past financial year and we saw a further growth to a 2.7% market share (a growth of 0.16%). His appointment comes at a time when the station shifts its focus to strengthening the organisation internally to maximise its service to clients and in turn accelerate profits. His experience in operations will prove pivotal for this exercise."
