Arthur “Shushu Baby” Lukhele has announced that he has finally put his microphone down.
This comes after a 40-year broadcasting career, and he is pleased to be retiring.
Arthur’s final show on RISE FM will be today, Wednesday.
His radio career began in 1982 on Lingwalagwala FM, formerly known as Radio Swazi, before joining Rise FM in 2018 as a sports presenter on the afternoon drive show.
Every Friday until December 2021, he co-hosted the Rise FM sports show.
Station manager Lance Claasen said RISE FM has declared December 14 as “Shushu Day,’’ dedicating the whole day to celebrating the radio legend through reflections of his career span.
“This will see all the day time shows featuring interviews with people he has worked with over the past four decades. Retiring on air is a rare occasion in broadcasting. In my entire career, this is my first retirement of an on-air personality. The brutal efficiency of broadcasting, often limits veterans to say good bye on their terms” said Classen.
