Algoa Country’s favourite morning show host, Wayne Hart, will be back on
air with his teammates – Lee, Charlie T and Producer Corn this coming Monday,
August 1.
This follows a five and a half month absence from the airwaves due to a
complicated health scare.
Hart, who spent 119 days in Hospital – 37 of which were in the ICU, 21
days on a ventilator and four days on dialysis; spent a further 28 days at the
Aurora Rehabilitation Hospital.
This after suddenly falling ill mid-February and being diagnosed with
Pancreatitis.
“I have been taking it very easy since my release from Aurora on July 13”, says Hart.
“Six surgical procedures later and a loss of 35 kilograms will slow
anyone down and truth be told, I am lucky to be alive.”
Managing Director, Alfie Jay says: “My team is like a close-knit family.
“It really has been a challenging passage of time for us, but by the
Grace of God, Wayne has survived this horrible ordeal and we are truly relieved
as well as grateful.
“Our audience and clients have communicated so much love and care over
this period and I’d like to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation for
their support,” says Jay.
Hart adds, “I’d like to thank each and every person who sent messages of
support and encouragement to me, the station, my colleagues and my spouse.
“I also want to thank my breakfast teammates and the station for their
endless love, support and commitment.”
Based on doctor’s orders, Wayne will be broadcasting from home during
the month of August as he continues on his road to recovery.
Jay says: “It would be remiss of me to not compliment Lee Duru, Charlton
Tobias and Cornelius Poisat, on the way in which they have carried themselves
and produced award-winning radio under trying conditions during Wayne’s
extended absence – thank you Champs, and welcome back Wayne!”
