“I'm energised by Newzroom Afrika and its trajectory. As a relatively young channel, it's already made a significant impact on the news landscape in Mzansi. The channel's dedication to quality journalism and its commitment to diversifying perspectives are incredibly important, especially in a country like ours where inclusivity is crucial for understanding our complex society.

The news anchor enjoys interviewing some of the country’s top politicians.
“One of the most rewarding aspects of my career has been the privilege to interview influential figures who have played significant roles in shaping the country. I've had the honour to speak with luminaries such as former president Thabo Mbeki, Gerrie Nel, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, and Helen Zille, among others.
“Every time I have the opportunity to engage with individuals who deeply impact our nation, I'm filled with excitement and a sense of responsibility to bring their insights to our audience,” she said.
