Colleen Louw, 567 CapeTalk station manager, said that Chait has always added great value to the station's development since its inception. “We hope that this won't be a final goodbye and that Lisa will still share her thoughts with the station's listeners from time to time. I have no doubt that she will succeed in any venture she sets her sights on in future,” Louw added.

Philander, who has been a freelance presenter for the talk station for a number of years, is also a South African actor, director, comedian, playwright and columnist. He is best known as the host of M-Net's game show “Are you smarter than a 5th grader?” and the Afrikaans music quiz show “Liriekeraai.” Television viewers will also remember him as the host of the first season of e.tv's charity reality show “Let's Fix It.”

Talking about Philander's radio show, starting on 1 July and titled “Time Out with Soli Philander”, Louw said, “Soli is going to afford listeners a time to discuss, reflect and celebrate life in Cape Town and in South Africa.”

“I am very excited to be back at CapeTalk. I look forward to interacting with the listeners and reflecting on the varied opinions of the people of Cape Town,” said Philander.
