Scoop & Moozlie Land Prime Weekend Slots On Metro FM. South Africa’s powerhouse urban radio station is turning up the volume on its weekend programming with a high-energy addition that promises to blend sharp cultural commentary, lifestyle vibes, and digital first flair.
Veteran entertainment personality Siyabonga “Scoop” Ngwekazi, widely known as Scoop Makhathini, and acclaimed rapper, TV host, and youth culture icon Nomuzi “Moozlie” Mabena have officially joined Metro FM. The dynamic duo will co-host a brand new show titled Lift Off, launching as part of the station’s refreshed 2026 lineup.
The lifestyle-led urban format show carries a strong digital focus, designed to connect with listeners both on air and across social platforms. It will air Fridays from 7 PM to 10 PM and Saturdays from 6 PM to 9 PM, giving weekend warriors the perfect soundtrack and conversation starter as they unwind, plan their nights, or gear up for the weekend ahead.
Scoop, a familiar face and voice in Mzansi entertainment, previously co-hosted the Metro FM Music Awards alongside LootLove and has built a reputation across YFM and the former Touch Central internet radio. His charismatic delivery and deep cultural insight make him a natural fit for Metro’s audience. Moozlie, meanwhile, brings her multifaceted star power from her roots in pageants and rap battles to her commanding presence on television and in fashion, injecting fresh, unapologetic energy into the mix.
Metro FM’s Business Manager, Kina Nhlengethwa, welcomed the move as a strategic evolution rather than a reinvention. “As METRO FM approaches 40 years, our intention is not to change what already works, but to celebrate the journey of the brand with the talent that has helped shape it over the years, while making strategic additions that strengthen our offering,” she said. “These new voices complement an already strong lineup and support the station’s continued connection with its audience.”
The announcement comes amid other subtle shifts in the 2026 schedule, including the departure of legendary voice Ismail Abrahams to pursue new media ventures and the introduction of emerging talent like Ricardo Genesis. Core flagship shows such as Best Mornings and The Touchdown remain firmly in place, ensuring continuity while fresh energy flows into the weekends.
For Scoop and Moozlie, Lift Off represents more than just airtime; it is a launchpad. Expect candid conversations on culture, lifestyle, music, trends, and everything that makes urban South Africa tick, all amplified by Metro FM’s signature sound and a heavy digital component that will keep listeners engaged long after the mics go off.
