Affectionately known as Malume Tap, DJ Ankletap's radio journey started at just 12 years old, working as a cricket stadium announcer in Potchefstroom. By the age of 21, instead of a traditional party, he convinced his parents to buy him DJ equipment – a bold move that launched his career in entertainment.
After a stint at UJFM while studying psychology, he went on to become a household name on YFM, and most recently hosted the breakfast show on YOU FM.
