Gareth Cliff

In 2014, he launched Cliff Central, an online content hub that specialises in podcasting and online radio. The content is uncensored and free from the regulations of the Broadcasting Complaints Commission of South Africa (BCCSA). His former 5FM breakfast team, Leigh-Ann Mol, Damon Kalvari and Mabale Moloi joined him in the new venture, and initially featured as part of his team on The Gareth Cliff Show. During one of the more outrageous stunts on CliffCentral, a show called SexTalk featured an orgasm live on air, on 31 July 2017 on National Orgasm Day. On 24 July 2019, Gareth Cliff hosted a panel of well-known South African broadcast personalities featuring DJ Fresh, DJ Sbu, Robert Marawa, Tbo Touch and Trevor Gumbi on Pure Conversations.

In January 2016 he won a court case to be reinstated as a judge on the television music competition show Idols South Africa on M-Net after being suspended for posting an allegedly racist remark on Twitter.

Cliff wrote an autobiography entitled, Cliffhanger: Confessions of a Shock Jock, published in November 2016.

Blind History - a podcast series produced by CliffCentral and hosted by Gareth Cliff and Anthony Mederer — was nominated for a New York Festivals Radio Award in 2019 for Best Education podcast.
