Abulele Mafuya

Abulele Mafuya has been working as a voice actor, writer and presenter since 2007.

He began by presenting and narrating current affairs inserts for community radio and TV stations, as well as training videos and e-learning courses for a variety of organisations, including Pearson, Standard Bank and Oxford University.

He has since lent his voice to a number of radio and television commercials, in English and isiXhosa for top brands such as Burger King, Hyundai, Old Mutual and Parmalat.

As a writer, he has served in various capacities in the industry as a copywriter, scriptwriter, script supervisor and editor.

In his private time he attempts to take flight by flapping his long arms. Results have been at best, negligible. Once he managed to raise himself to around stoep height. It was a Tuesday.

DJ Sabby, born Sabelo Mtshali, is the compass to all things urban youth culture throughout the continent of Africa. A voice that has been sourced out by various platforms across the world to speak on youth culture.

DJ Sabby is a name synonymous with trailblazing and premier radio.

Following early success, DJ Sabby took further training as an intern within Y-Academy as an intern. After graduating, the broadcaster embarked on a legendary decade-long journey with YFM that saw him work up from the graveyard slot to drive-time with his ground-breaking and aptly-titled show; The Best Drive. The drive-time show made history as the longest-running drive show ever within YFM as well as on all urban radio within South Africa. The Best Drive received critical acclaim; racking up multiple “Best Drive Time Show” radio nominations within it’s 5-year run. Despite the pandemic, The Best Drive lived up to its name in 2020 with a seminal cycle that pushed its global footprint, capping the show’s exhilarating run on the highest of highs.

The consummate creative also had the honour of covering the MTV’s 2016 European Music Awards live from Amsterdam as well as hosting Vodacom’s Making Moves Virtual Conference in 2021.
