women from our world who are making a tangible impact in South Africa. Meet
East Coast Radio’s General Manager, Boni Mchunu.

They say behind every successful man, there’s a strong woman. Well, we say behind our very successful radio station there’s an #UnStoppable woman who we call our boss lady, Boni Mchunu.
Born and raised in Pietermaritzburg, Boni is passionate about KwaZulu-Natal and its people. She is the youngest of five sisters and was brought up by a single dad, who she calls her 'Rockstar'.
Naturally, our strong-headed #BossLady was no ordinary child. Growing up she already knew she did not want to conform to what the township she resided in had to offer.

Boni excelled at every facet of her life, especially her education. If you had to meet this powerhouse of a woman, her greatest expression to you would be her passion for education.
Apart from being a successful businesswoman, she is also a superwoman to three kids of her own, and a wife to her loving husband.
Boni took up the position as General Manager at East Coast Radio 3 years ago. Before ECR she worked for Tourism KwaZulu-Natal (TKZN), where she served as General Manager: Marketing. Before joining TKZN, Boni served in a Brand Management capacity at Unilever, Before that she worked for ABSA. She holds varied qualification, ad recently attended the leadership development at Wits & London business schools.
It’s safe to say East Coast Radio scored big time with this #UnStoppable South African woman.
Thank you, Boni, for leading by example and for being the captain to steer this ship from good to great!
We salute you!
