Zanifa Ali - Announcer

She is our morning drive-time host and is well known for her bubbly, friendly voice. Even though she worked in the accounting field previous to being a broadcaster, it has been Zanifa's ambition to be a radio announcer.

She recalls being awakened every morning by her mother at 4:45 to be greeted by the voice of veteran broadcaster Moean Mohammed on the radio. Her interest in music originally lay in English music but with the rebirth of Indian films and the introduction of the new breed of singers and new style of music, her interest in Indian music grew to the level it is now at.

At school she completed both O' and A' levels, and went on in her spare time to complete a broadcasting course. Zanifa enjoys the heart of nature - moonlight walks, sunsets, full moons, sunny beaches and a calm lifestyle. Madhuri Dixit is her favourite actress; as far as actors are concerned, she has no preference, she feels a male star is only as good as the film he is in.

Having some previous on-air experience at another East Indian radio station, she came to 90.5 in March 1999. Zanifa's charm, wit, amicable attitude and zest for life is a welcome addition to the 90.5 family.

Join her on weekdays for Shabnam from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday Sajda.
