Renowned radio presenter Rotondwa Roklas Nelwamondo joined Phalaphala FM on 1 April to present the Vhurereli show, airing on Sundays from 19:00 to 21:00. Nelwamondo has been in the broadcasting industry for the past 13 years, having started his career in radio at Musina Community Radio in 2010. In 2012, he joined Univen FM, where he occupied different positions for the next 11 years, until March this year. Nelwamondo was born and bred in Lwamon[1]do. He started his schooling at Mutende Primary and matriculated from the Thasululo Learning Centre. After school, he studied for his diploma in marketing at the Tshwane North College. He says he has always been madly in love with national radio. “I am so glad God granted me my wish. Every day I get to sit in my chair behind the microphone is a blessing. I love my work. This is what I want to do for the rest of my life.” He says that radio has taught him always to be prepared to learn. He is very thankful for the support he has received since he ventured into the broadcasting industry 13 years ago, especially from his listeners. He ascribes his success to passion and dedi[1]cation. “Radio has changed a lot over the years. We need to realise that media content has to get aligned with what is actually happening out there. It’s also hight time that the media corporations consider hiring people who are ready to make the necessary changes in the industry,” he said. Nelwamondo describes himself as an opti[1]mist who is always ready to try and experience new things. “My personal objective is to estab[1]lish myself in a dynamic environment where my theoretical knowledge and practical experience can be fully utilised,” he said
