Radio broadcaster and TV personality Kia Johnson is still pinching herself in disbelief after she finally landed a job as a presenter of SABC2 show 50/50, her favourite show since childhood.

Johnson hosts a breakfast show on Radio Tygerberg 104Fm on weekdays.

Her love for the environment, which started at a young age, has seen her being involved in many environmental campaigns and initiatives.

Some of her achievements include being an ambassador for World Wildlife Fund SA, winning the Most Influential Plastic Free Mzansi Campaigner for 2019, and being listed as one of the top environmental influencers in the country for 2019 by Treeshake.

“I am excited to finally get this job. I auditioned for the show and waited for months before they told me I got it. I still cannot believe that it is me. I am still pinching myself. For me it has been a dream come true,” she says.
