Debate of the day: Mbusi or Shaffie, who rules the airwaves?

A debate has been raging on for quite a while and it doesn’t seem to be abating anytime soon!

And the debate is, just who rules the airwaves between Shaffie and Mbusii-deh. There are two camps that have formed around the two radio personalities with each claiming victory over the other. And the debate has raised such a furore that it is time for Ghafla to put an end to it authoritatively and factually!

For starters, neither rules the airwaves at their time-slots, Classic FM’s beautiful temptress Ciku does! no buts, no if, no maybes.

Moving on swiftly, the debate has mainly been fuelled by two distinct groups of youth identifying with the two. “Ma-sufferer” formerly referred to as “wanatty” have identified with Mbusii whose impact on urban culture cannot be understated. Their antithesis has collected around Shaffie as they feel he best represents them. Shaffie is outgoing, confident (to an extent haughty) and more importantly, he is papered -a fact he isn’t shy to remind us all!

These two camps have held up the two radio-personalities banners as they engage in a tag of war over the title of the best radio personality which to them is synonymous with the most listened to.

But Uncle Chim Tuna has come to burst their bubble: in reality they enjoy roughly the same amount of radio love. According to some inside information i got me mitts on, the only variation is based on a day-to-day analysis of the stats. One day Shaffie bests Mbusii and the next, Mbusii bests Shaffie.

They perform this waltz over and over again and sometimes they get just about the same listenership.

Simply put, Ciku’s “Busted” rules that time slot by a mile and the rest are left to contend with what’s left.
