Ndumiso making (air) waves

If you’re a fan of Ndumiso Ngcobo’s two books (and numerous blog posts), you’ll be happy to discover that, if you live in the Gauteng region, you can now tune in to KayaFM’s “Good Morning Gauteng” (http://www.kayafm.co.za/features.php?id=49) between 6am and 9am every morning to listen to him co-hosting the show with Kgomotso Matsunyane (http://www.whoswhosa.co.za/Pages/profilefull.aspx?IndID=5995).

Ndumiso and Kgomotso’s collaboration almost seem predestined. Commenting in a review of Some Of My Best Friends Are White, she predicted that he would prove to be “one of the most important commentators living in South Africa today. He says everything you ever thought but never quite had the brains to put together in a cohesive, funny argument.”

But, as Ndumiso explains it, it was his chapter “Music: The True Opium Of The Masses” from Is It Coz I’m Black? that secured him the gig. In particular the line: “I wish someone out there with some vision would offer me a DJ contract in a fine music station.”

Well done to Kgomotso and Kaya FM for having the vision…

And for those of us out of range, we’ll just have to do with online radio streaming for now (http://www.kayafm.co.za/latest/stream).
