Speaking on the changes, Capitalk FM’s Station Manager Nyaradzo Makombe emphasized its commitment to pushing boundaries.
“Our watch parties have been amazing, and our activations this year will be off the charts,” the station revealed. Listeners who caught the recent Ford convoy got a glimpse of the high-energy engagements Capitalk FM is planning for the year ahead.”
The Loshto Move: A Strategic Business Decision
One of the key questions surrounding the station’s lineup changes has been the move of Loshto to another station within the Zimpapers group. Addressing the matter, Capitalk FM explained that the decision was purely strategic. “Zimpapers is a growing media group, and as part of our expansion drive, we saw an opportunity to strengthen another station. Loshto is family, and his move is a business decision meant to give our sister station a boost.”

Introducing the New Drive-Time Team: Organised Chaos Meets Beautiful Madness”
Taking over the drive-time slot, The Skywalker is making a short move—just “walking next door”—to co-host with the energetic and charismatic Buttephly. Adding an extra layer of entertainment, the show will also feature popular social media personality Madam Boss, who brings her signature wit and charm, channeling her well-loved alter ego, Dudzai.

“The thinking behind this combination is disruptive radio,” Capitalk FM revealed. “It’s organised chaos, beautiful madness, and a formula that will take us all the way to the top of drive-time radio. This is not just any show; it’s The Harare Drive.”
Listeners can catch the exciting new show every weekday from 3 PM as the team delivers a fresh, unpredictable, and highly engaging experience.
To officially welcome the new presenters, Capitalk FM is hitting the streets this Friday with a special activation on Harare Drive, supported by Simbisa Brands and powered by Ford. The celebration will continue with an after-party at Cosmopolitan Restaurant, where fans can meet the new drive-time team in person.
With this bold move, Capitalk FM is making it clear that 2025 is the year of domination, disruption, and innovation in Zimbabwean radio. Tune in, join the movement, and experience The Harare Drive like never before!”
