Selbeyonce returns to Gagasi FM's afternoon drive show
Mzansi, the queen is back on the airwaves.
Much to the delight of her fans, beloved radio and TV personality Selby 'Selbeyonce' Mkhize is making a triumphant return to Gagasi FM, the heartbeat of KwaZulu-Natal.
After years away from the station where her media career took flight, Selby is rejoining the station on June 23, and she's not coming quietly. She'll be lighting up the Gagasi Fast Lane, the station's high-energy afternoon drive show, alongside the iconic duo Sphectacula and DJ Naves.
Her journey began in 2008 as a voice-over artist. By 2009, she had already made waves as the sass-filled gossip columnist on the weekend breakfast show Lively and Loud.
The momentum kept building as she brought the heat to the Top 40 in 2010 and owned the Saturday night party scene in 2011. In 2012, she took a step back from the station, but her legacy never faded. Now, more than a decade later, she's coming home and fans can't wait.
Earlier this week, speculation swirled that Selbeyonce was headed to a youth radio station, a claim that Gagasi FM quickly and firmly squashed. In a strongly-worded statement, the station said: 'We wish to state unequivocally that these claims are entirely baseless and purely speculative. It is deeply concerning that the publication failed to consider the potential reputational and commercial harm such unfounded allegations could cause to both the individual named and our business.'

'I am home': Minnie Dlamini returns to Durban to host afternoon radio slot
Minnie Dlamini has announced her return to Durban and revealed that she will be joining Gagasi FM. Image: Instagram 'My heart lies eGagasini.' These heartfelt words from Minnie Dlamini mark her return to her hometown of Durban. The well-known radio DJ is embarking on an exciting new chapter in her career, having officially joined the popular Durban radio station, Gagasi FM. 'Durban, I'm home for a brand new chapter 🚀,' she expressed. Dlamini, who rose to fame as a presenter, is now the co-host of the weekday drive show, The Gagasi Fastlane, which airs from 3pm to 6pm on weekdays. She made her debut on the station on Tuesday, teaming up with the beloved duo Sphectacula and DJ Naves, affectionately referred to as "The Kings of the Weekend". In a video shared on Instagram, Dlamini announced her homecoming, featuring moments with her son at the beach, enjoying the waves and glimpses of her home. 'Some places never stop calling you back. Where the waves hold your memories and the wind whispers what's next … my heart lies at eGagasini, and that's where I return. Durban, I am home for a brand-new chapter,' she said in the video. Although Dlamini has made a name for herself in Johannesburg, often dubbed the "city of lights", she was born and raised in Durban. Her return to the station follows the departure of Thandi 'Zisto' Mhlongo, who co-hosted The Gagasi Fastlane with Sphe and Naves, before resigning in March after seven years to join East Coast Radio. Dlamini is no stranger to making headlines, having recently been involved in a public dispute with controversial podcaster Macgyver 'MacG' Mukwevho. During an episode of his popular YouTube show, 'Podcast and Chill', Mukwevho made derogatory remarks about Dlamini's breakup with plastic surgeon Dr Brian Monaisa. He questioned her ability to maintain a relationship and made crude comments regarding her hygiene. Video Player is loading.

An apology was later issued to her by the attorney of 'Podcast and Chill', but the damage had already been done. Taking the opportunity to address the public discourse surrounding her name, Dlamini expressed her intent to pursue legal action against Mukwevho. She shared her disbelief and pain at how her name, body and dignity had been dragged through the mud due to the vile and humiliating comments made by him.
