Radio DJ and house record producer MacGyver ‘MacG’ Mukwevho has worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry. He has taken the digital space by storm with his YouTube podcast, ‘Podcast and Chill,’ the number one podcast in Africa, renowned for its candid and conversations with esteemed personalities such as Black Coffee, John Kani, Connie Chiume, Julius Malema, Zola 7 and Oskido, among many others. With over 1 million subscribers, he filled SunBet Arena in Pretoria to celebrate this milestone, making it the first and only podcast to do so.
Interviews with notable personalities like Black Coffee and Julius Malema elevated the podcast’s social media presence.
This marks a “MacSeason,” as noted by a social media user. Earlier this year, MacG proposed to his girlfriend live on stage at the SunBet Arena in Pretoria. It was a heartwarming moment for fans.
