“SABC News has been my news home since February 2017. My time in the anchor chair has come to an end. It has been a privilege to bring people news on the biggest public broadcaster in sub-Saharan Africa, on a channel that is Independent and Impartial.
“I am so grateful to sis’ Thandeka Gqubule-Mbeki for hiring me, and for everyone who has been so kind to me on my journey. Words cannot capture how grateful I am for what I saw, did and experienced on this part of my life,” she wrote.
Nzinga is also an author, published a children’s book titled Amari’s Adventures in 2022. Speaking about the book at the time of its release, she said the book was for children up to the age of six.
“It’s for little ones who are learning to count and interact with the world around them. It’s been translated into 11 official languages and Nama, which is spoken by people in the Northern Cape. This project was made possible by the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture’s Mzansi golden economy programme,” she said.
