Ten pin bowling ... “I’ve never been bowling before...I wonder if
it constitutes as exercise?”
Being a career woman ... “My goal was to be retired by 30 from the
broadcast industry but life doesn’t always work out the way you plan.”
Studying ... “I never wanted to study journalism. I always thought
that it was about hiding in dustbins and following the cops around.”
Hosting a TV show ... “I wanted to get onto a talk show after I saw
Sally Jesse Raphael and Phil Donahue on Bop TV back in the 90s.”
The new show ... “My mother is my biggest critic, she thinks I talk
too fast on Motswako but I’m just nervous...I still get nervous.”
Speaking vernacular ... “I had to go back to my high school text
books to brush up on my Pedi for Motswako.”
The Zuma baby scandal ... “Personally I wouldn’t care if Jacob Zuma
had a child out of wedlock and wasn’t the president, but he is the president so
I do care.”
Being a celebrity ... “People need to stop looking at TV for their
role models”
Africa ... “If I could choose an African city to live in it would
be Lagos. From what I’ve heard and read, it has a soul like no other
city.”
Being a fashionista ... “Adam Levine, who worked for Elle magazine
at the time, told I had the ability to take catwalk style and turn it into
street chic. I was 19 then and didn’t have a clue about what he was talking
about!
“Now my sense of style is Audrey Hepburn meets Miriam
Makeba.”
Being a mother ... “Motherhood is a lot of work but a lot of love
and joy too.”
Living in the city of gold ... “I love Joburg because when people
in this city make a noise, the rest of the country can hear it.”
Spirituality ... “My bedroom is my prayer closet. It’s the place
where good things are deposited into my soul.”
