Graeme White; Nate Dogg; Bongani Njoli; and Dmitri Jegels were very popular on the station in the 90s and Good Hope FM decided to invite them back to each co-host a show in celebration of the station’s birthday.

“To keep in celebrating our birthday with a little twist of excitement each year, we decided to include some Golden oldies DJs of yesteryear in the on-air line-up for the day,” says Programme Manager, Gerard Muller, “they have all played a part in making Good Hope FM one of the biggest radio stations over the last 45 years.”

Graeme White, fondly known as the 'Vanilla Thriller' will co present the breakfast show with Nigel Pierce between 06:00 and 09:00. Nate Dogg, a popular club DJ who also hosted weekend night-time shows on Good Hope FM in the 90s, will join Suga on the Cape Town Shakedown between 09:00 and 12:00. The big warm voice of Bongani Njoli will join Ayanda Tini during the lunch show from 12:00 to 15:00. To end the day’s celebrations, the Afternoon Drive with Guy McDonald team will be joined by Dmitri Jegels. To add a little kink to the afternoon, the very entertaining Sista will also join the afternoon drive team in studio between 15:00 and 18:00.

Graeme White took his first steps in radio by joining Good Hope FM in 1990. He hosted various shows on the station, but left in December 1999 to explore other options in commercial radio before he re-joined the station as the host of the afternoon drive show from April 2004 until March 2006. Currently Graeme works in production at the station, adding immeasurable value to the team with his wealth of experience.

Bongani Njoli cut his broadcasting teeth at UCT Campus Radio and joined Good Hope FM in February 1994, hosting the 22:00 to 02:00 timeslot until he left in April 2002. Bongani is still a well recognised voice on television as a voice-over artist for both private and commercial entities.

Dmitri Jegels cut his teeth in radio when he joined the station on the 1 March 1983. Also the host to various time slots, but the most popular for his mid-morning and lunchtime slots, he left the station 16 years later in 1999, to explore other opportunities at rival Cape Town radio stations. He is currently studying again at UWC.

Good Hope FM will celebrate its birthday during the course of July with several parties, like the Kinky Afro party that will take place at the CTICC on the 9 July, and a 31 day long competition where one lucky listener will walk away with R45 000 cash.
