As from the 2nd February 2025, legendary radio personality Tony Blewitt will join OFM – the sound of your life at its new home on the Vaal – Emerald Resort & Casino.

Heralded as one of South Africa’s most loved DJ’s, Tony will be hosting OFM’s ‘Weekend Wired’ on Saturdays from 4pm to 7pm and present ‘Gold Retold’ Sundays 9am to 1pm.

He’s been around the block with Thelma, a personality synonymous with the name Tony Blewitt. A long and prosperous career in radio has seen Tony work at Capital Radio, 5FM, 94.7 Highveld Stereo, Classic FM and most recently, he can be heard hosting ‘The Breakfast Show’ weekdays on Mix FM.

Tony is no stranger to television either, presenting programmes like Revue Plus, Blewitt’s Music Biz Quiz and Blewitt’s Movie Biz Quiz, “Where In The World Is Tony?”, “What a Lovely Pair” and more recently “The Gadget Man” on CNBC Africa and “Tech Talk” on Summit TV.

“We look forward to introducing Tony’s special mix of humour to the Vaal Triangle as visitors enter Emerald Resort & Casino”, says Sharon de Leur, Marketing Executive at Emerald Resort & Casino. “We believe that he’s a great personality and are confident our customers will love Tony’s familiar and witty repertoire.”
