Entertainment tycoon an inspiration to media enthusiasts




A Yfm host Simo Zokwana, who grew up in Umtata and Pretoria with Pretoria being the city he lived most his life in. He went to Hamilton Primary then Pretoria West High only to matriculate at Crawford College Pretoria.

Zokwana has always been passionate with the idea of being in the media industry. He bumped into jocks on air that made radio relate to him. Jocks like Khabzela,Dj Sbu,Mo Flava,Mac G,Dineo Ranaka,Tholi B,Ankletap,Fresh,Rudeboy Paul,Chilli M and Tbo Touch made him desire radio. Not only is he a Host on Yfm, he's also a business man,MC,Dancer,Actor,Sound engineer,Club Dj and Student.

His parents had their own path for him which was either being a doctor or accountant hence he studied Bcom Finance but life just had a way of pulling him towards his ambitions.
"Your biggest challenge should and is only yourself you will be met with friends,foes and foes looking like friends but just keep yourself sane and stick to your principles and values that make you, which is hard." said Simo.

He has had the best highlights of his life. Being top 4 on Ground Zero, a radio host search, his business decisions and finally getting a weekday show this year on Yfm This is Radio Mon-Fri 00:00-03:00 with himself and Tulz Madala.

"There is no blueprint to success so just keep working around your dreams till there is a chance to live your dreams then keep working to keep the dream alive." Simo Zokwana.
