Ukhozi FM presenter Selby “Selbeyonce” Mkhize has announced that she is leaving the station after 13 years on the airwaves to “pursue new professional ventures”.

Mkhize has been with the radio station since 2012 and her last show will be on June 18, 2025. Her departure was confirmed in a statement by the station and Mkhize on her official Instagram account.

“The time has come for me to say goodbye to the mighty Ukhozi FM. What an amazing 13 years it has been. Jehova I don’t even know what to say or where to start. God I thank you for the talent you have given me and I never take it for granted,” wrote Mkhize. 

“Thank you lord for the best job in the world. The opportunities you have granted me, the people I have met and worked with, the lives I have touched. Nkosi Ngiyabonga.”
