Vic Naidoo: "It's bittersweet to be saying goodbye to East Coast Radio"
"I've evolved and gone through so many things in KZN and I'm a better and stronger person for it..."
Vic Naidoo is embarking on a new adventure and says goodbye to East Coast Radio with mixed emotions.
As one of our daytime favourites bids us farewell, we are both excited for him and also sad to see him leave. Vic Naidoo has grown his fanbase in his original hometown of Durban.
What was once a dream became a reality when he entered East Coast Radio four years ago.
I am really excited about doing the things that I want to do instead of talking about it and hoping and wishing. I know that I am leaving something good but I am stepping into something great. I am finally taking a risk and I am very excited about what the future holds for me. I believe that we should only do things that fill up our cups and that make us happy. I am in full pursuit of happiness. When I first walked through those doors of East Coast Radio, I didn't know what to expect, but I was mind-blown and pleasantly surprised.
I am very inspired by the resilience of the KZN community. They have been through so much with me over the last four years. The floods, the rioting, the water issues, the COVID-19 pandemic, and I hope I will be remembered for some of my work that was here. I have felt so seen, heard, and loved and I hope that I made them feel seen, heard, loved, and represented.
What's next for Vic Naidoo?
Vic will be traveling and focusing on some business opportunities. He went on to share that living in KZN was "character-building" in the nicest ways. He is ready for a new challenge and this moment feels full circle for him.
Vic Naidoo has always wanted to have a chair at East Coast Radio and fulfilling that has been an honour for him.
It was a dream that was realised and he will always hold this moment as something special and cherish it.
Here's to my next and here's to yours. I want to thank the listeners for being vulnerable with me. I have felt safe to be vulnerable with them and share my stories with them. I really feel like I have grown and living in KZN and working at East Coast Radio has contributed to that growth. I would also like to take a moment to thank everyone who has inspired me, meaning the people who have worked in that chair before me, previous presenters. There is beauty in endings and I am richer in so many ways...
As a team, we would like to wish Vic Naidoo all the best in his future endeavours. This next chapter is going to be greater than the last...
We will miss you, Mr Unapologetic, for keeping it real and honest over the last four years.
