Mhlongo joins The Morning Show

After a freak eye injury forced Mhlongo into early retirement back in 2021, the lanky ex-Buccaneer is committing his future to sports broadcasting.

The revamped show promises to be bigger and better than before with Mhlongo joining seasoned radio personality Faith Mangope and current hosts Nelisiwe Mmape, Kgosi Rankhumise and Bolele Polisa.
