Kenny Maistry brings music to 702 land every weekend with Music Saturdays and Soulful Sundays from 10 AM.
We find out what drives this Radio Hall of Fame inductee to be the host we know and love.
WHAT ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT?
Kenny is passionate about three main things, music, people, and having a good time, and these shine through on his shows every weekend.
“I love having a good time.”
– Kenny Maistry, 702 Host
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT 702 LAND?
Being a part of 702 means being a part of an incredible family, and Kenny loves the love and support they give every weekend.
During the pandemic, he saw the 702 family grow and offer lasting support from around the world.
“I still have those global listeners sending in voice notes ever weekend.”
– Kenny Maistry, 702 Host
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE TV SHOW?
Growing up in the 80s, Kenny became a big fan of all those action tv shows.
Specifically, MacGyver, which inspired him to get his degree in Biochemistry.
WHAT ANNOYS YOU?
The worst thing for our 702 DJ is indecisive drivers on the road.
He says he can handle the Johannesburg traffic but as soon as you are indecisive it drives him up the wall.
YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE TO TRAVEL?
Kenny loves to travel to KwaZulu Natal because that is where he can connect with his family.
“I am all about family.”
