The two winners were shortlisted from the more than 200 contestants who had initially entered the competition.
"The listeners had a say in who they wanted to take the crown through SMS voting, which made it easy for us to make a decision," Bogatsu said.Ndwalane, of Port Shepstone, is no stranger to the airwaves as he has previously worked for the South Coast community radio station .
"I am excited that I am now going to have an audience of more than a million listeners," he said.
Madondo, of Esikhawini near Empangeni, has worked as an intern for a Johannesburg-based radio station.
"Winning the competition came at a perfect time for me to dedicate the time to the station and then decide whether I want to work on radio full- time," said the third-year IT student.
