Growing up in a small town, but always dreaming BIG.

She is sexy, styling, fresh, passionate, and a little cheeky!

Packed with the power ingredients that make a radio show pure entertainment. Zuraida Jardine explodes all over your radio every weeknight bringing you the freshest music news and interviews -night radio like never before! And. she's still with you every Saturday afternoon!

Finishing school in Johannesburg and needing to stretch her wings, she applied and was accepted to study broadcasting journalism in Santamonica in the United States . Undeterred at her visa being turned down a couple of days before she was due to leave, Zuraida simply stepped onto another plane and landed in Australia and from there, onto Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore.

On her return, she graduated with a Diploma in Journalism and a further two international diplomas from the New York Business Institute -one in journalism and the other in business communication. But she really wanted to act.

Whilst taking drama classes, she went on holiday to Cape Town . A dream from an early age to be on radio, Zuraida auditioned for Good Hope Fm, and has never looked back.

During her five years at Good Hope, she also read the news for the TV show, "Cape @ Six" as well as reported for the TV breakfast show, "AM Today", Presented the "T.V. Licence Supercard" show and "Mr. South Africa ". Multifaceted, multitalented, unique and sleek, Zuraida touches deep.

Her infectious presence spread across the Mother City until she was lured back to Jozi by 5 fm. Although she will always love Cape Town , being with 5 fm is something really special for her, and she finds only the good in the magic that is in Johannesburg .

Since 1999 her fun-loving and down-to-earth nature has been a winning weekend formula and now that Zee-power pulsates every weeknight too. 

Zuraida Jardine's beauty emanates from the inside out, her passion for everything she does has taken her to many exciting places and has seen her as a presenter on both SABC, M-NET and e-TV. She looks back with fond memories, and a lot of fun, on her experiences with "Woza Weekend and Big Brother II". She was further entrusted to delve deeper into the housemate's mad and wacky minds while hosting the Psychological Big Brother show, "Headspace".

Zee's background in journalism is an added bonus to the field of broadcasting as her knowledge and experience lends to her deep-seated understanding of the responsibilities that go with the job. She also finds radio the ideal medium in which to express her sense of individuality. "Being on radio allows you to be you", comments Zee , "and there is nothing nicer than just being yourself- what more can you ask for?" and that is exactly what her audience relates too, and what makes her so uniquely special!

Getting tastes of acting in the CNN drama documentary "Water World 2020", "Die Lied Van Die Lapop" on SABC, the MNET short film "Black Sushi", and most recently, the powerfully moving and internationally acclaimed stage production of the, "Vagina Monologues", we are sure to see more magic unfold from Zee. Not to mention her gorgeous "Betty Davis Eyes" sparkling in PJ Powers music video.

With Villamoura Prawns, Daruma sushi and oysters as her favourite tastes, there is no wonder Zee's naughty nature shines through. Preferably in her favourite colour yellow and in as many boots as is possible for a girl to have (and we all know, a girl can never have too many boots).

Whatever it is that you are asking for, Zuraida Jardine is all heart and she'll keep you on the pulse and banging with the beats. for you, that is what she loves most, connecting with an audience, even if only for a short while, it is her gift to you!
