station, as well as some well-known voices in new time-slots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a testament to the depth of talent in Algoa country that we are in a position to evolve our on air product,\u201d says Algoa FM managing director Alfie Jay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re excited about the opportunity these changes represent and are confident that our listeners will like what they hear\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Popular late-night companion, Vinny Nogemane has relocated to East London to anchor the afternoon drive show from an Algoa FM studio in the Hemingways Casino.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s been the voice of Algoa FM between 10pm and 2am since April 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Born in Komani (Queenstown), Vinny started his radio career at CBFM before moving on to spend six years on air and behind the scenes at OFM in the Free State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a tribute to Vinny that he was a natural choice for the Afternoon Drive Show when it became vacant,\u201d says Jay.<\/p>\n<p>Late night listeners will now keep company with Liaquat Sain between 10pm and 2am during weekdays.<\/p>\n<p>His radio career includes stints at UCT Radio, Voice of Wits, CBFM and Good Hope FM.<\/p>\n<p>The Woolhope

early morning presenter Craig Ross will be hosting the Saturday afternoon show between 3pm and 7pm.<\/p>\n<p>Ross entered the world of broadcasting while working in the United Kingdom and subsequently did a short stint at Algoa FM around 2010 before moving to Cape Town where he presented various shows on KFM.<\/p>\n<p>He has worked as a radio presenter, professional voice artist, master of ceremonies and audio engineer.<\/p>\n<p>Ross describes himself as \u201ca gifted sportsman, accomplished pianist, outdoor gym and garden junkie, food lover and ardent chocaholic\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Another new voice from the Eastern Cape is Cradock born and raised Annelu Le Roux, who will be on air between 7pm and 10pm on Saturdays.<\/p>\n<p>She discovered her love for radio while studying a BA in Communications at the North West University in Potchefstroom, where campus radio station, PUKfm 93.6 awakened her interest.<\/p>\n<p>Working as a presenter, news reader and news editor at PUKfm, and two Liberty Radio Awards later (2017 and 2018), she says it was clear that radio was where she wanted to be.<\/p>\n<p>After graduating with an honours degree in Journalism and Multimedia, Annelu joined Radio Sonder Grense (RSG) as a journalist and producer in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n<p>Thereafter she joined Moneyweb as the producer of RSG Geldsake \u2013 during

who was raised in Motherwell, Gqeberha.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe grew up in the city, went to Sunridge Primary and St James in Schauderville before moving to Makhanda to study at Rhodes University,\u201d says programme manager Baydu Adams.<\/p>\n<p>Mandisa describes herself as \u201ca travel enthusiast with a passion for the Eastern Cape who loves connecting with its people\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the reason she loves Algoa FM and why she joined the team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMandisa believes that the power of radio lies is in how effortlessly it fits into people\u2019s lives, to entertain them, keep them company, and to keep them informed,\u201d says Adams.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_121178\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-121178\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
