Jabulani Mjay Sibisi on his Ukhozi FM journey picture

The former Ukhozi FM news reader Jabulani Sibisi, known as M'Jay, was on Podcast, Radio, and Staff. He retired from Ukhozi FM in 2015 after joining the station in 1991. He grew up in Durban, worked for Ilanga News as a general reporter and Bona Magazine. At Ukhozi FM, he worked with the likes of Mtholephi Mthimkhulu, Dumisani Ngcobo, Dumisani Shandu, Thokozani Nene, Themba Gasa, Siphiwe Maphumulo, and Mandla Ngema.

Sibisi said, "Before joining Ukhozi FM, I was so fortunate that I was able to meet some of the journalists from Ukhozi FM during events. I ended up creating relationships with them. After joining the station, I went back to join the magazine again due to salary issues. At the radio station, there was a manager who asked me to come back after recognizing my talent."

"Actually, I have never studied journalism, but I have worked as editorial assistance, so I have learned on my own. I studied public relations. One of the big stories I covered was the wedding of Brenda Fassie with Nhlanhla Mbambo and the launch of the song 'Weekend Special.' When I retire from Ukhozi FM, I told them that I'm available to give any help when it is needed."

Sibisi told Podcast, Radio, and Staff that he is now busy with the project called Izimoso News Skills Solution. This is about helping those who are news readers in the community radio stations and everyone who is interested in becoming a news reader.
