Radio icon Wilson B. Nkosi to receive lifetime achievement honour at inaugural SA Voiceover Awards
Veteran radio broadcaster and voiceover legend Wilson B. Nkosi is to be honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the first-ever South African Voiceover Awards (TSVA) in Johannesburg on October 4.
Nkosi, a revered figure in the world of radio and voice artistry, has spent decades behind the mic, capturing the hearts of South Africans with his unmistakable baritone and soulful delivery. From Sunday soul sessions to brand campaigns that echoed across generations, his voice has become part of the nation's cultural fabric.
Announcing the accolade, TSVA president Sinemivuyo Mpulu said the award recognises more than just Nkosi's body of work — it honours a legacy.
'We are beyond excited to honour uBab' Nkosi, a voice that echoes in the hearts of millions,' Mpulu said. 'This is a moment to celebrate not just a career, but a legacy that continues to inspire.'

Divorce glow up? Rachel Kolisi shows off new look
Rachel Kolisi is showing off a new look amid her high-profile divorce from her former husband, Siya Kolisi, and South Africans are loving it! The mother-of-two announced her divorce last October and has been navigating life as a single parent. RACHEL KOLISI SHOWS OFF POST DIVORCE MAKEOVER In a recent Instagram post, Rachel Kolisi showed off a fresh, youthful look courtesy of a shorter haircut, a full face of glamorous make-up, and a stylish outfit. The 35-year-old was enjoying a girls' night out with Springbok WAGS like Aimee Kitshoff, Saskia Snyman, Hope Mortimer, and Rassie Erasmus's twin daughters, Nikki and Carli. Under the post, Rachel's newfound radiance was not missed by her followers. @jessgalloway: 'Gotta love a post-divorce glow up girl❤️' @lesego_thlabi: 'Personally, I'm celebrating the launch of glam Rach! 🔥' @yolande_coetzee: 'You looked fabulous. Love the new hair!' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rachel Kolisi (@rachelkolisi) While her divorce from Siya Kolisi likely means she'll no longer be attending Springboks games, Rachel Kolisi still finds time to celebrate her friendship with fellow rugby WAGS. The partners of players like Handre Pollard, Manie Libbok, Cheslin Kolbe, Franco Mostert, and many, many more often leave encouraging comments for the former first lady of the Boks. Springbok WAGS have rallied around Rachel Kolisi after her via Instagram: @rachelkolisi Rachel Kolisi's new look comes a week after she posted images of her new car, a brand-new SUV courtesy of Jetour. The brand deal was made possible through Livingstone Sports Management, the same company her brother, sports agent Joel Smith, works for. Rachel previously had an endorsement deal with Mercedes-Benz, which sponsored luxury cars for both her and her former husband, Siya Kolisi. However, the deal likely ended shortly before Rachel announced her 'humbling' decision to drive a Toyota Yaris in an Instagram post she swiftly deleted. Rachel Kolisi has shared a look at her new car.
