Returning to Kaya is incredibly special because this station has always represented excellence in broadcasting,\u201d she shared in an interview.<\/p>\n She added that she\u2019s stepping back behind the microphone with a mix of gratitude, excitement, and pride, describing the timing as meaningful.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m grateful, excited and honoured to be back behind the microphone, doing what I love most. I believe timing and purpose always meet. Since I was last here, I\u2019ve grown not only professionally but personally. I\u2019ve worked across Radio 702, voice overs, live events and public speaking. Life has stretched me, refined me and deepened my understanding of people. Coming back to Kaya now feels like the right chapter because I have even more to share with listeners.\u201d<\/p>\n Botha says her return will bring a blend of entertainment and connection, with a focus on content that resonates with Kaya\u2019s audience.<\/p>\n She also explained what she believes Kaya listeners respond to most, stressing that the station\u2019s audience is thoughtful and actively engaged.<\/p>\n \u201cKaya listeners are thoughtful and engaged. They want conversations that matter and music that moves them. I want them to feel like they\u2019re part of the show, that their stories, opinions and experiences have a place on the air.\u201d<\/p>\n Outside of radio, Botha has been leaning into personal and professional development, including work connected to South Africa\u2019s music culture.<\/p>\n She shared that she\u2019s been serving as a resident MC at Hugh\u2019s Jazz Club, a role she says keeps her close to the musicians and sounds she loves while celebrating the country\u2019s jazz scene.<\/p>\n She also described becoming more intentional about downtime, solitude, and self-care over the years.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the fast-paced world we live in, I\u2019ve learnt that making time to pause, reflect and simply be is not a luxury\u201a it\u2019s a necessity. That time has helped me return to radio with a clearer mind, a fuller heart and a deeper appreciation for meaningful conversations and genuine human connection.\u201d<\/p>\n Looking at how her mindset has shifted over time, Botha noted that earlier in her career she was driven by the need to prove herself, while now she\u2019s focused on serving the listener.<\/p>\n \u201cEarlier in my career, I was focused on proving myself. Today, I\u2019m focused on serving the listener.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Story audio is generated using AI Seasoned broadcaster Nonn Botha is getting ready for what she calls an eagerly awaited comeback: she\u2019s set to take over the Soul Sunday slot on Kaya 959.
