Thobela FM mourns the passing of its kids show presenter, Johannah Sebolaishi Seloga, known to her listeners as JJ Menu.
JJ Menu passed away on Monday after a prolonged illness, leaving behind a legacy of joy and entertainment for children and families.
JJ Menu joined Thobela FM in 2007, where she endeared herself to audiences through her vibrant and engaging hosting of various shows. Among her notable contributions were programs such as “Thoba Matswalo” and “Re mmogo.”

Madikana Matjila, the business manager of SABC radio Limpopo combo, expressed the station’s condolences and said they’ve lost a dedicated and talented member of the team.
“We all are hurt by JJ’s passing and wish to send our heartfelt condolences to the family and all our listeners. We hurt also that millions of children and families have lost a servant, as JJ delivered with passion our children’s religious programming, as well as our all-time favorite Moremogolo where she served as a producer. We wish to lastly thank all our listeners for sending us their messages of support in this difficult time,” said Madikana.
