King Edward Masinga (1904-1990) also known as Shobane ka Mangethe and also known as Umfana weKheshi was a teacher who became the first African to present radio programmes in the history of South Africa. Masinga was one of the first broadcasters to broadcast on the Zulu station, which later became known as Radio Zulu. Apart from broadcasting, he was also a composer of songs which he wrote in the Zulu language. He was also the conductor of a musical group (choir) which he founded to sing songs which he composed.
