POWER 98.7 is proud to introduce Ayabonga Cawe, an economist and renowned commentator on socio-economic developments in South Africa. He joins the station as the new host of POWER Hour, which will now air from 17:00 to 18:00 Monday to Thursday. The station also announced the time channel swap between POWER Hour and POWER Business.
