Reading with compression is certainly quite the skill and Gagasi FM presenter Felix Hlophe put that to the test in a Facebook post.
It’s radio shuffle season in South Africa, with radio stations across the country announcing changes to their 2026 lineups.
Hlophe had been confirmed to be retaining his spot on “The Uprising”, which he currently co-hosts with Minnie Ntuli, but his post was talking of a last episode.
In his post, Hlophe bids farewell to his baby “The Uprising”, adding that “it’s the end of an era”.
He went on to explain that the name “The Uprising” came to him in a dream long before he knew his radio breakfast show would be The Uprising.
“I hoped to change the way people listened to radio. I believe my job here is done. On to the next !!! I close this chapter with a fulfilled heart. I thank God for this opportunity. I will forever be known for this name and era. Looking forward to the future show. #TheLastEpisode.”
April 1, 2026, is the start of a new radio and Hlophe and Ntuli are set to kick start a new show on the same time slot.
Linda Ndaberry commented on Hlophe’s post that the radio presenter is not going anywhere and that it is the of the Uprising.
“He is not going anywhere. It’s the end of Uprising today. Tomorrow it’s a new show , still on Gagasi FM , with Minnie Ntuli Maybe the name of the show will change. But yena akahambi,” wrote Linda Ndaberry.
Zama Zee Ndlovu said “English is a language,, they are changing the name of the show 🙄”
On Gagasi FM’s Instagram promo video for the new seaon, Hlophe shared his excitement for the new season and shared that listeners came expect a rollercoaster and get everything they need under the sun.
