5FM announced its revamped line-up in June, with former YFM host Lula Odiba named as one of the station’s new additions.

Odiba, who is the daughter of late iconic broadcaster Eddie Zondi, will now host the 12h00 to 15h00 slot.

The 5FM and Good Hope FM’s PCS Combo Business Manager, Masixole Mdingane in a statement described the move as being about authentically connecting with the youth and moving them.

“It also gives us an opportunity to push boundaries and create innovative solutions for our clients in ways never imagined before,” Mdingane said.

“This makes 5FM the ultimate destination for brands looking to connect with young minds that shape the future.”

After the breakfast slot, the drive time slot is the most coveted at a radio station. So, it’s with reason that 5FM’s new drive time team is elated to move from their midday slot to the drive time.

“On Lunch, so many highlights can be said, but the growing as friends, growing a family with our listeners of SA and the nominations were everything – Best Day time Show, Best News Reader, Best Content Producer in South Africa,” wrote broadcaster Zanele Potelwa.

Potelwa now hosts 5 Drive with the same team she hosted the lunchtime show with. The team includes newsreader Yanga Mjoli, content producers ShabZi Madallion, Masego Tlhakanye and sports presenters Jude van Wyk and Nick Archibald who do traffic.
