ANGIE KHUMALO

Angie Khumalo has a strong background in news and current affairs, and jokes that she knows a little bit about a lot of things. Angie loves to read novels and biographies and is an avid movie buff. You’ll often catch her at movie sneak previews and she puts those insider scoops to good use as 5FM’s ‘Zulu Maiden’ movie reviewer. The feature, which is Angie’s brainchild, was introduced in 2011 and has become so popular it’s grown in 2012 from once a week to a twice-weekly segment. On Fridays on The Rob Forbes Show Angie gives the low-down on what’s opening at the box-office that weekend and then on Saturdays, on KrazyBoy Weekends with KB, she tells listeners what’s hot and what’s not at the movies.

Another of her passions is all things fast. Angie describes herself as a speedfreak, adrenaline junkie and petrolhead. “I love motorbikes and fast cars – the faster the better. There’s nothing I won’t try once.” Which is precisely how Angie ended up riding across South Africa with fellow 5FM personality DJ Fresh and other celebrities in 2011 and again in 2012 as part of the Nelson Mandela Foundation’s Bikers For Mandela cross-country charity campaign. Along the route, which went from Joburg to Cape Town and back again, Angie and her fellow celebrity riders, including 5FM’s DJ Fresh, contributed to charitable initiatives and projects en route.
