Thulane “Tboy” Khanye
Radio Presenter | Motivational Speaker | MC | Sports & News Broadcaster
Thulane “Tboy” Khanye began his journey in radio in 2007, when a friend introduced him to Rhodes Music Radio, the campus station at Rhodes University. It was there that his passion for media was ignited. Trained as a sports and news writer and presenter, he quickly rose through the ranks to become a programme presenter, hosting the weekend breakfast show every Saturday and Sunday from 06:00 to 09:00.
Following his time at Rhodes, Tboy returned home to join Ligwalagwala FM, a move that marked a significant step in his broadcasting career. Speaking to thousands of listeners, he describes his role on radio as a privilege and calling, finding the most joy in offering hope to those who feel like they’ve hit rock bottom.
“I’m blessed with the opportunity to be part of people’s lives through the airwaves—and that’s the most powerful part of what I do.”
Life Beyond Radio
Tboy is known for his humility, respect for others, and multi-faceted interests, including:
- Playing PlayStation
- Soccer
- Debating
- Cooking
- Collecting movies
A gifted motivational speaker, he regularly visits schools to uplift and inspire the youth. He is also an experienced MC, often hosting community and corporate events.
Family & Inspiration
At the heart of Tboy’s values is family. His greatest role model is his grandmother, a pillar of strength who raised her children and grandchildren while holding the family together. Her selfless dedication instilled in him the life mantra:
“Family should always come first.”
Musical Taste & Personal Life
Tboy’s musical library reflects his eclectic taste and love for South African culture. He listens to:
- Joyous Celebration, Pastor Benjamin Dube
- Teargas, Zola, Hugh Masekela, Soul Brothers

When he’s not immersed in sound, you’ll find him enjoying time with his daughter, Melokuhle, who brings balance and joy to his life.
Personal Philosophy
