Given Mkhari is a South African radio DJ, journalist, entrepreneur and radio and radio station owner. Given was raised in Giyani.

Mkhari is the chief executive of MSG Afrika Investment Holdings, a black-owned media and communications investment company he co-founded in 2002 with his long time friend Simphiwe Mdlalose.

MSG has a 5percent stake in Telkom Media, which was last week awarded one of the five pay-TV licences by the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa). "Telkom Media is a business that is very much in line with our overall broad strategy," says Mkhari.

Outside of strategic empowerment deals in the boardroom, Mkhari is probably best known for the talk show he hosted on Metro FM for four years before he left on a grand note in 2005.

His farewell gift was a call from President Thabo Mbeki who praised him for the sterling work he had done behind the microphone. "Radio is my first love and although I am no longer an active part of it, we are investing in its development through MSG," he says.

Mkhari has a long-standing relationship with Icasa. Radio TURF, the University of the North's campus radio station he started in 1995 with Mdlalose, was the first student radio station to be registered by Icasa. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Manamela69 (talk • contribs) 20:48, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
