Radio presenter, Olwethu Mdingi, known as Oros, from Butterworth, believes she is ready to grab the microphone again, after taking a break and focusing on her personal life for a while.
She confirmed that even though she loved being on radio, she had decided to take a break and deal with her spiritual calling.
She said that she joined a number of community radio stations, but she had to drop her hustle and focus on her calling. According to her, she had finished the process and is willing to start again.
“I am old enough now, and I have to look for something that will put food on the table and continue with my life. I grew up knowing that I like talking a lot, and I think this is one of things that led me to like radio so much.”
Mdingi encouraged young people who still want to be radio presenters one day to know that radio is still powerful, and people are still listening to it even though the technology is also taking place online nowadays.
“The problem that we have is that even though we are over 35 years old we still need to be granted a chance with radio stations. We know that we should give young people a chance, but to be over 35 years old does not mean you do not have your dream that you still want to achieve. I appeal to our leaders to consider this because it is painful to sit at home unemployed due to your age.”
