Connecting talent to the spotlight

Early Beginnings and Passion for Music: From a young age, Mr. Makatu developed a profound passion for the entertainment industry, starting his journey as a musician. His love for music flourished, gaining exposure within his local community when he was just in Grade 8. As time went on, his affinity for being a radio presenter grew, but like many black parents, his own parents emphasized the importance of education and encouraged him to focus on his studies as a backup plan for the future.

Venturing into Engineering and Discovering Radio: Following his parents' guidance, Mr. Makatu pursued a qualification in Chemical Engineering at Vhembe Tvet College. Despite not fully understanding the field, he saw it as a tangible option for his future. Once he completed his engineering studies, he made a courageous leap into radio, which quickly propelled his career within the industry. Over the years, he has worked for notable radio stations such as Pheli FM, Commuter FM, and currently shines on VMC Planet Radio.
