And my colleagues helped me grow every step of the way,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Her growth did not go unnoticed. In less than two years, Ntuli became a two-time award-winning radio presenter, a milestone she credits to the mentorship, guidance and encouragement she received at the station.<\/p>\n<p>As she prepares for the next phase of her career, Ntuli expressed deep gratitude to Jozi FM\u2019s leadership and staff, including station head Baba Njomane, management, HR and her direct supervisor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith everything I\u2019ve gained here, I feel ready to grow and move on to new opportunities,\u201d she said, adding that her time at Jozi FM will always hold a special place in her journey.<\/p>\n<p>Before joining Jozi FM, Ntuli was a presenter at Gagasi FM in KwaZulu-Natal, where she previously made headlines after revealing the circumstances surrounding her departure.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, she disclosed that she had been offered R2,800 a month for a three-hour show, a figure she described as deeply disappointing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt unappreciated and disrespected,\u201d Ntuli wrote then, explaining that her request for a salary review was declined. \u201cAyanda Melansi suggested that I consider other things other than being on air. I then took the decision to ask them not to renew my contract.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite receiving another well-paying radio offer in September 2024, Ntuli chose not to accept it immediately, instead consulting with Jozi FM\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n<p>She has now confirmed that she is ready to take the next step, carrying with her the skills, confidence and recognition earned during her time at the station.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 4 -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Penny #Ntuli #confirms #exit #Jozi #twoyear #run<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; Penny Ntuli exits Jozi FM Award-winning radio presenter Penny Ntuli has officially announced her departure from Jozi FM, closing&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":48910,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48909","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48909","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48909"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48909\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48911,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48909\/revisions\/48911"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48909"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48909"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48909"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
