Skhumba has come far from being a stand up comedian trying to make it in a difficult industry. He has slowly climbed the ranks and it seems his hard work has paid off.

The media personality has bagged a full time hosting slot alongside Thomas Msengana on KayaFM.

Entertainment blogger Phil Mphela made the announcement on Wednesday, 14 April. He said:

“RADIO: Thomas Msengana returns to Kaya FM. Thomas is back at the station to host the new breakfast show... with Skhumba as co-host. ‘Thomas and Skhumba in the Morning’ will be on air Mondays to Fridays from 06:00 to 09:00. The new show starts May 3rd.”

The information was met with mixed reactions from social media users, many were happy for Thomas while others were wary about Skhumba as they weren't used to having him on the airwaves for that long.

Skhumba did not respond to requests for comment.

Meanwhile Briefly News previously reported that South African radio and TV presenter Pearl Modiadie and her saucy co-host Thomas Msengana are officially saying goodbye to Metro FM. So many changes are taking place in the world of radio that this does not even come as a major surprise.
