Jacaranda FM Turns Up the Volume with DJ Ankletap
Jacaranda FM is thrilled to announce that one of South Africa’s most recognisable and loved radio voices, DJ Ankletap (real name Bryce Clarke), is joining the station’s on-air family. From Friday, 13 June 2025, DJ Ankletap will host a ‘Party Nights With Ankletap‘ every Friday evening from 19:00 to 22:00, bringing his trademark energy, vibrant storytelling, and party-starting playlist to the station’s evening block.
With over 15 years in broadcasting and a loyal fanbase across the country, DJ Ankletap is a powerhouse in the South African radio scene. His new show promises to deliver the perfect mix of great music and high-energy content – perfect for listeners ready to get into the weekend party spirit.
“I’m extremely excited to be joining Jacaranda FM—it’s a station that truly resonates with the heartbeat of the city and its people,” says DJ Ankletap. “I can’t wait to bring my passion for music, storytelling, and good vibes to the airwaves and connect with such an incredible audience. Here’s to new beginnings and unforgettable moments on Jacaranda FM!”
Affectionately known as Malume Tap, DJ Ankletap’s radio journey started at just 12 years old, working as a cricket stadium announcer in Potchefstroom. By the age of 21, instead of a traditional party, he convinced his parents to buy him DJ equipment – a bold move that launched his career in entertainment. After a stint at UJFM while studying psychology, he went on to become a household name on YFM, and most recently hosted the breakfast show on YOU FM.
Ravi Naidoo, Programming and Content Manager at Jacaranda FM, says:
“We are incredibly excited to welcome DJ Ankletap to the Jacaranda FM family. He brings with him not only a wealth of experience but a unique connection to South African audiences. His energy, storytelling, and ability to bring people together through radio is exactly what we need to elevate our weekend line-up.”
With a strong presence both on-air and online, boasting over 200,000 followers across his social media platforms, DJ Ankletap is more than just a radio host; he’s a cultural force. ‘Party Nights With Ankletap’ on Jacaranda FM will be the perfect weekend wind-up, whether you’re heading out, staying in, or just in need of some great company.
Listen to ‘Party Nights With Ankletap’ every Friday between 19:00 to 22:00 on Jacaranda FM or stream live via www.jacarandafm.com.
