Phalaphala FM Listeners Voice Concerns Over Morning Drive Show

Phalaphala FM has unveiled its 2025/2026 lineup, keeping most of its familiar voices and shows with only minor adjustments. However, one program that has sparked intense debate among listeners is the morning drive show, Vhandilani, airing from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM, co-hosted by Terry “The Big Dude” Mudau and Tanganedzani Mbedzi.

“It’s Not What We Want” – Listeners Speak Out

While Phalaphala FM has built a strong reputation among its loyal audience, many listeners have taken to social media and call-in segments to express their disappointment with the current state of the morning show.

The biggest complaint? A lack of energy, engagement, and the dynamic entertainment factor expected during morning drive time—a slot meant to wake up listeners, keep them informed, and set a positive tone for the day.

Some argue that Vhandilani feels too weak, lacking the vibrancy and excitement needed to make the morning commute enjoyable.

Here’s what some listeners had to say:

🔥 “A morning show should wake us up, get us excited, and set the tone for the day. This one just doesn’t do that.”

🔥 “We need more engaging conversations, humor, and a strong connection with the audience. Right now, it’s just too dull.”

🔥 “Phalaphala FM, please listen to your listeners! We want a powerful morning show that keeps us tuned in.”

Will Phalaphala FM Listen?

With increasing criticism, many are asking: Will Phalaphala FM revamp the morning show to better meet audience expectations?

Listeners are hoping for a refreshed approach—with more interactive content, thought-provoking discussions, humor, and a livelier atmosphere to keep them engaged during their morning routine.
