Jacaranda FM scoops three major radio awards
The Who's Who of South African Radio gathered at the Sandton Convention Centre on Saturday for the annual Liberty Radio Awards.
The station playing you More Music You Love - Jacaranda FM - scooped three major awards at the annual ceremony, including Best Breakfast Show.
The Liberty Radio awards are about rewarding individuals and organisations who combine talent, hard work and skill to ensure listeners are compelled.
"It's about securing the future of the radio industry by rewarding excellence and motivating the constant and consistent raising of standards," organisers say.
Jacaranda FM's Complimentary Breakfast won the Best Breakfast show award, while The Afternoon Drive's, Martin Bester, won the Best Afternoon Drive presenter award.
This makes it three times in a row for Martin Bester!
Jacaranda FM's DJ Jazzy D also walked away with the award for Best Night Time Show for his show "The House Party with DJ Jazzy D."
It is the first time that the renowned DJ wins a radio award after starting his radio career with Jacaranda FM a few years ago.
The Groovemaster, as he is fondly known, made his breakthrough with his radio hit Lady Soul, which became a massive SA hit.
Jazzy's first remix of the track was done in 1997 but he says record labels could not see what he saw- and it took 8 years for the track to be recognised.
Today South Africans all over the world associate this song with home.
