The Awards, now in their 14th year acknowledge not only the on-air personalities, but also the unsung heroes working behind the
scenes to deliver engaging, informative, and entertaining radio content.

This year, 73 winners were announced across 29 categories in Campus, Community, PBS (Public Broadcast Service) and Commercial licence categories, as well as podcasts and internet radio.

Station of the Year awards went to 702 (commercial), Lesedi FM (PBS), Radio Khwezi (community) and VoW FM (campus).

Winners were determined by the number of times they appeared as finalists across all general categories in 2024 and their motivation submissions which spoke to innovation, audience growth, community outreach, general achievements, and their ‘x-factor’.

The Hall of Fame inductees were announced as Jill Stewart, Eon de Vos, Simon Parkinson, Darren Scott, and Nick Grubb. These individuals, who have made an indelible contribution to radio for at least thirty years, were nominated by industry peers.

Five individuals were inducted as Bright Stars – young talent, 26 years and younger with a deep understanding and passion for the medium. This year’s inductees are Yonaka Theledi, Jodell Tantji, Thato Moloto, Jan Willem Lotz, Ndivho Makhwanya, and Chloe van Rooyen.

In the MyStation listener’s choice categories, the MyStation – Most Votes award went to UkhoziFM, repeating their success in 2023. The MyStation – Most Loyal Listeners award went to Hot 1027.

Radio a powerful media platform

“Radio remains one of the most powerful media platforms in South Africa. It reaches diverse communities across the country, breaking down barriers and connecting people from all walks of life.

“Its accessibility allows it to inform, entertain, and empower millions, often becoming a trusted voice in communities.

“In a digital age, radio continues to evolve, blending traditional broadcast with modern platforms, making it an indispensable medium for storytelling that enriches people’s lives,” says Lyndon Barends, managing director of strategic partnerships at Arena Holdings, owners of the Radio Awards.

Celebrating 100 years

“Celebrating 100 years of radio is an incredible milestone, reflecting a century of storytelling, information sharing, and connection.

“At Telkom, we are proud to champion this legacy through the Telkom Radio Awards, which honour the pioneers and visionaries
who continue to inspire through this powerful medium,” says chief marketing officer at Telkom, Gugu Mthembu.

“As the custodians of connectivity for over a century, Telkom believes in the transformative power of communication to bring
people closer and shape a brighter future.

“True to our ethos, Possible Begins Here, we are proud of our partnership with a platform that recognises the exceptional talent that drives the radio industry forward and continues to amplify voices across South Africa and beyond.

“Congratulations to all nominees and winners on their achievements.”
