Capetonian radio legend, Clarence Ford will be back on the airwaves after CapeTalk announced that he will host The Morning Review show from Monday, 11 April until Thursday 14 April.
According to reports, Ford will stand in for Lester Kiewit who is reportedly going on leave. Ford’s return to mainstream radio comes after his departure from Heart FM in December 2021.
At the time Ford indicated that bullying from management was at the heart of his decision to put Heart FM in the rearview mirror.
CapeTalk’s station manager, Tessa van Staden, said that the radio station would be honoured to welcome Ford to their airwaves.
“He is truly a radio veteran, loved and respected by so many. We’re excited to hear this long-time CapeTalk listener share his ideas in this new format. Talk radio is a new and interesting beat for him, one that allows him to truly showcase his curiosity and passion for a wide range of topics,” Van Staden said via the CapeTalk website.
