FORMER Lesedi FM presenter Khothatso Quinton Molebatsi joins Mosupatsela FM.
Quinton, affectionately known as Qboy, has joined the community-based radio station in Botshabelo, Free State, as the host of the Morning Drive Show.
Qboy will help Mosupatsela FM regain its listenership after going off-air for nearly two months due to alleged compliance issues.
The popular presenter has been silent since resigning from Lesedi FM several years ago. In an interview with the Daily Sun, Qboy said that his motivation to return to the airwaves stems from the belief radio is a powerful platform for addressing social issues like drug abuse, gender-based violence, and other challenges affecting communities.
“Radio should be used appropriately to tackle such issues. I believe there should be sufficient initiatives. By utilising radio, these problems will be addressed effectively.”
Qboy assured Mosupatsela FM listeners of a seasoned presenter who will use radio to address community issues while providing entertainment. The radio DJ expressed his ambition to work for a national radio station.
“It doesn’t matter which one, any national radio station. I still feel I have unfinished business on a national platform. It was awkward on my first show, given that I’ve been off the air for so many years, but in about 30 minutes, I reclaimed my strength.”
Attempts to reach Mosupatsela FM’s acting station manager, Piet Motaung, for comment, were unsuccessful.
