Khumi Hamese

Khumi Hamese is a Voice Over Artist, Radio Presenter, Event MC and a Creative & Digital Marketing Specialist.

After enrolling at Tshwane University of Technology in 2008, Khumi soon realized her passion for broadcasting and joined the campus radio station TUT Topstereo. The station later changed from a campus radio station to a community radio station, and renamed itself Tshwane FM in 2010.

From community radio, Khumi made the move to retail radio station, Vodacom Radio. Working under the legendary Tom London. With her constant need to feed the broadcast monster even more, Khumi also joined online radio station Planet Radio TV. At this point she did both online radio and retail radio concurrently.

At Planet Radio TV, Khumi hosted the Breakfast show between 06:00 – 10:00 with her co-host. In 2013, Khumi moved onto Drive Time radio hosting her own show, Khumi On Drive. Planet Radio TV was Africa’s first Radio/TV station which broadcast in East and West Africa. This gave her the opportunity to present on live TV, introducing her to Television Presenting.

Fast forward to 2017, she began her commercial radio journey at Capricorn FM, the sister station to Power FM and Limpopo’s only Commercial Radio Station. She began by hosting the training slot on weekends. In 2018, Capricorn FM gave Khumi her own show called The After Glow, on Sundays between 18:00 – 21:00.

In 2010, Khumi had the opportunity to work hand in hand with officials from FIFA and SABC for the Polokwane Coca Cola Happiness Fan Festival, one of the Top 3 in South Africa as the MC at the Fan Fest. She graced the football stage at the FIFA Fan Park at Polokwane Rugby Stadium when South Africa hosted the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

With her career taking great strides, becoming a Voice Over Artist was a natural progression. Khumi has been doing voice overs for 8 years for many different brands, both on television and radio.

One of the highlights of Khumi’s Voice Over career thus far, was being the Voice of God at the Global Citizen Festival Mandela 100 Concert. The concert which took place at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg on December 2nd, 2018. The concert gave Khumi the privilege of announcing on to the stage, the likes of Trevor Noah, Oprah Winfrey, Naomi Campbell, Danai Gurira and Pharrell Williams, among others. The concert was broadcast to 180 countries, across six continents and was also available via live stream.

Jonathan Roxmouth

Jonathan Roxmouth

Jonathan gained the bulk of his “training” by participating in a number of musicals at the Natal Playhouse. These included GUYS AND DOLLS (Nicely-Nicely Johnson), OKLAHOMA! (Ali Hakim), THE MIKADO (Pooh-Bah), ME AND MY GIRL (Bill Snibson) and THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE (The Pirate King).

He made his professional debut in 2006 in the Barnyard’s production of GREASE (Vince Fontaine/Teen Angel). He followed that up with ROCK ME, AMADEUS (W.A. Mozart) and THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY (Buddy Holly) both directed by Ian von Memerty – a meeting that would affect the course of his young career.

The big musicals finally beckoned and he played Lun Tha in Packed House Productions’ THE KING AND I. What followed was an undisputed milestone for him. He joined Roelof Colyn in A HANDFUL OF KEYS – directed by Ian von Memerty and enjoyed a massive success. The show received a breath of fresh air with the new partnership and it toured nationally three times over. It garnered him a Naledi Nomination for Best Performance in a Breakthrough Role as well as a Fleur Du Cap Award Nomination for Best Performance in a Cabaret or Revue. In the same year, he earned his first two Naledi Awards for Best Performance in a Musical as well as Best Comedy Performance (shared with Sibu Radebe) and the Fleur Du Cap for Best Performance in a Musical for his portrayal of Gaston in Pieter Toerien and Hazel Feldman’s production of Disney’s BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. He was then cast as the narrating silver tabby Munkustrap in Pieter Toerien’s revival of CATS. Later that year, he went solo with his one-man show, IN BLACK & WHITE, to critical acclaim before returning to GREASE – this time as Danny Zuko in Pieter Toerien and David Ian’s smash hit production which toured to Cape Town, Johannesburg, New Zealand and Hong Kong. For this, he earned a second Naledi Award nomination for Best Performance in a musical. Before commencing the international legs of the tour, Jonathan teamed up with Alan Swerdlow to write HATS OFF! – The Hilarious Songbook of Flanders & Swann, which he performed with Louis Zurnamer. For this, he received his second Fleur Du Cap Nomination for Best Performance in a Cabaret.

 

In what was a challenging shift, he played the role of Judas Iscariot in Pieter Toerien’s production of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. His interpretation of the role earned him the Fleur Du Cap Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical. Then came his big break – Pieter Toerien and The Really Useful Group’s record-breaking return production of Andrew Lloyd-Webber’s THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. Jonathan played the Phantom himself and was catapulted into a new phase of his career. He garnered the Fleur Du Cap and Naledi Awards for Best Performance in a Musical as well as the Artes Legends Award then toured with the production to the Far East making history as the youngest English-speaking Phantom yet and winning the Broadway World Award for his performance. He then performed his one-man show, TOPSY TURVY – A Fresh Look at Gilbert & Sullivan in Johannesburg and Cape Town, having premiered it in Durban originally at the Rhumbelow Theatre, enjoying both great box office and critical acclaim as well as a Fleur du Cap nomination for Best Performance in a Musical. He was last seen as Noël Coward in Sheridan Morley’s NOËL & GERTIE for which he was nominated for a Naledi Award for Best Performance in a Musical. He has just completed his debut album –STAGE BY STAGE and was last seen as Joe Gillis in Pieter Toerien’s 25th Anniversary production of SUNSET BOULEVARD.

Inbetween all the seriousness, he managed to have an absolute blast playing the Elvis-esque Pharaoh in Pieter Toerien’s enormously successful revival of JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT, scooping BroadwayWorld and Fleur du Cap Awards for Best  Actor in a Supporting Role in a Musical. The production toured SA twice over and also went to Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington in New Zealand.

Jonathan recently released his latest album “My Lloyd Webber” – a collection of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s music. He can next be seen playing Che in Pieter Toerien and David Ian’s international production of EVITA. It will be his first big musical on the Teatro stage since Phantom 5 years ago…! In addition, he will be starring opposite Weslee Swain Lauder in VR Theatrical’s upcoming production of the hilarious quickchange farce, THE MYSTERY OF IRMA VEP as Jane Twisden, Lord Edgar and a few other surprises…
