Sealing off the month of the geniuses (i.e. March) into what is known as 'new era for radio - April' saw some interesting, yawning and dull changes in terms of reshuffling of DJs, programs line-up's and so forth.
It must be noted that the initiative by commercial broadcaster Metro FM to have celebrities hosting the afternoon drive time slot - 'The Avenue' was creative, top notch and mind-blowing.
Therefore goes without saying that the listenership went sky rocketing.
Like most of those who tuned in, i for one anticipated one of the shows which was to be hosted by the controversial ANCYL President Julius 'Juju' Malema, prior i thought this was just a publicity stunt by the station to woo listeners but after an intro track 'It's about
time' by Boom Shaka there came his voice and yes the promise was kept; and from that moment on never was radio going to be the same, well atleast while he was behind the mic.
Juju made it crystal clear that 'no politics' and just relaxation was the order of the day perhaps because of reports in the media earlier on which alledged he was back to his own self again critising the ruling party and the president though it later emerged that the report was incorrent resulting in the dismissal of the journo.
To round everything off Malema had a fun-filled, productive day in the studio bringing us another side of his which is unknown to many and such initiative was well received by majority.
