Jacaranda FM is thrilled to announce that the charismatic and much-loved radio personality, Lucky Du Plessis, has joined the station’s lineup to host Weekends with Lucky every Saturday and Sunday from 07:00 to 10:00. These shows will focus on uplifting music and feel-good stories for a laugh or two, bringing listeners even closer to the station’s promise of More Music You Love.
Lucky’s vibrant energy and storytelling mastery have made him a household name in South African media. Now, for the first time, he steps onto the commercial radio stage with Jacaranda FM, ready to connect with the station’s diverse audience.
“As an art director, I learned to connect with emotions. I crafted my storytelling skills through stand-up comedy, which taught me how to turn life’s toughest moments into laughter. When I finally stepped into radio, it became the perfect space to bring all these elements together,” shares Lucky. “Storytelling is my greatest passion, and I’m beyond excited to share this love with the incredible Jacaranda FM community!”

His energetic personality will bring a fresh perspective to our weekend lineup, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome him.”
