When you\u2019re hot, you\u2019re hot. And Lloyd Madurai is sizzling! So is the radio station he heads up. So it\u2019s no surprise it\u2019s just scooped – again! – Best Local Radio Station, along with Best Local Show, in the 2025 Best of Joburg Readers\u2019 Choice Awards.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Lloyd Madurai loves radio \u2013 has loved it ever since he was a kid growing up in Overport, Durban, when someone offered to teach him everything he needed to know about the medium. That act of kindness set Lloyd on a path that would eventually see him heading up one of the most successful stations in Gauteng: Hot102.7.<\/p>\n

Because \u2018success\u2019 means different things to different people, it\u2019s worth noting that Hot 102.7 has managed to garner not only industry acclaim \u2013 winning, amongst other awards, honours at this year\u2019s New York Festival \u2013 it also receives an enthusiastic thumbs up from listeners across Gauteng.<\/p>\n

In fact, the station was recently named the Best Local Radio Station in Best of Joburg (for the fourth time in as many years), as well as Best of Pretoria and Best of Ekurhuleni for two consecutive years. What\u2019s more, the morning team \u2013 Parkie, Bunny and Simon Hill \u2013 won Best Local Radio Show.<\/p>\n

How, exactly, does Lloyd manage to get it so right? First of all, he\u2019s had loads of experience, working at many of South Africa\u2019s leading media companies before setting up Hot 102.7\u2019s forerunner, community station Hot 91.9. Here, Lloyd focused on a niche in the market, gathering together some of the radio legends that South Africans aged 35 and older had grown up with, and broadcasting the music they still love. The move to a commercial station came about when Lloyd and his consortium purchased Classic FM.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve sat in the same studio as most of our country\u2019s industry greats \u2013 Mark Pilgrim, Jeremy Mansfield and Darren Scott,\u201d Simon affirms, \u201cand I\u2019ve been able to learn from them, too. They knew what made great radio, and I always keep in mind the lessons they taught me.\u201d
\nThat\u2019s one of the secrets of the breakfast team, he adds.<\/p>\n

But it helps that the irrepressible trio are friends, too \u2013 or, as Lloyd puts it, the type of people whose conversation you might listen in on at a coffee shop, feeling as though you have something to add, and certain they\u2019d value your contribution. \u201cOn air, they\u2019re exactly the same people they are in real life: there\u2019s Parkie, the kind of guy everyone wants to invite to their braai; Bunny, the voice of reason; and Simon, our maverick who says the things everyone else thinks, but is afraid to voice out loud.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bunny agrees. She came to Hot 102.7 through the station\u2019s academy, which Lloyd established so that radio hopefuls could enjoy the same opportunity that was given him, teaching them the basics free of charge. \u201cI didn\u2019t realise I could knock on the door and ask for a job until Lloyd gave me a chance to work on the station,\u201d she says. She started out writing copy for the station, then graduated to hosting her own show on Hot 91.9. \u201cI was a complete mess on my first day! Lloyd ran out of his office because he could hear I was pressing every single button I could!\u201d She learned the ropes quickly: \u201cThe feather in my cap is losing a Radio Award to Mark Pilgrim \u2013 if you\u2019re going to lose, it might as well be to a legend!\u201d<\/p>\n

Since Simon has been involved in radio since his student days, he has plenty of his own cringe moments to look back on. There have been notable mispronunciations of artists\u2019 names (\u201cthat was a beautiful tune from Sade\u201d [to rhyme with \u2018paid, instead of Shar-day]), as well as his inadvertent \u2018Christmas in July\u2019 moment. \u201cI had two minutes of time on air before the news, and I didn\u2019t want to fill it with talking, so I looked for a short song. I chose a track from a big band without properly looking at it, so I didn\u2019t notice that I was playing a Christmas carol \u2013 five months too early!\u201d<\/p>\n

Close as they are, like any close friends, the breakfast team also have their niggles. \u201cSimon can\u2019t stand it that I sing along to every song we play! I always think of him like a flower: first thing in the morning; he has to slowly unfurl. On the other hand, I\u2019ve already been to gym by the time I walk into the studio, so I\u2019m flooded with endorphins and can\u2019t wait to get going!\u201d Bunny says.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the little foibles like these that keep Gautengers listening to their favourite station. \u201cRadio is all about being real; about connection. Your favourite presenters are there when you\u2019re happy, there when you\u2019re sad, there when your house is empty and you feel like having a dance. We\u2019re the original influencers, with you no matter what you\u2019re going through,\u201d says Bunny.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely,\u201d Lloyd says. \u201cWith radio, you always know what you\u2019re going to get!\u201d \u2013 in other words, many more hours of laughs, many more hours of singalong tunes, and many more hours of fun.<\/p>\n
