PIERCE OF MIND

Prodigal son to tell it all when he returns to radio after 6 years out

- BY MARSHA DEAN

FOR some a job or a career is just a means to an end, while for others it’s a calling.

Nigel Pierce falls into the latter category. Adored for entertaining listeners on GoodHope FM for a number of years before a bitter departure from the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) in 2019, Pierce is getting ready to return to Kaapse airwaves next month.

That split from the SABC silenced his voice for six years, but now that he is back on Heart 104.9 FM to lead the Drive Show from 3pm to 7pm with Jamie-Lee Domburg, who will cover traffic, and Jeremy Harris, on sport, Pierce promises to fill in the blanks in a tell-all show on 5 May 2025.

He tells the Daily Voice: “I know there’s been a lot of speculation about my sabbatical, and I get it, it’s natural to wonder what happened.

Honest

“But I’m going to answer that on the air on 5 May 2025. I’m ready now. Ready to be open and honest about the highs, the lows, and everything in between.

“A lot has happened in that time, personally, professionally, emotionally. I’ll talk about why I cried for days, about the things I’ve never said out loud before.
