South Africa's Sweetheart... why we totally adore her

 1. You've been defined as a fun, mature, remarkably talented, fantastic,

 and ofcourse.. Dedicated.. With so many definitions of who you are how do

 you respond to them? And describe yourself in 10 words..

*Wow! All of that?! *giggles* Thank you! I'm very humbled by those

definitions and extremely happy that that is the person I come across as to

people because that is the core of who I am. I do not try to be like anyone

else, I'm very comfortable in my own skin and blessed that people love me

for who I am. Me in 10 words...uhmm..Bubbly, fun, crazy, hardworking,

dependable, loving, smart, spiritual, miss independent, kea phapha! *

 2. Your transition from TV to radio - YoTv To 'My House' alongside DJ

 Euphonik - is remarkable. Surely you went through many obstacles. Can you name

 a few? And how did you oveercome them?

*Thank you very much. It has been a hard journey in terms of crossing and

defying red tape but Euphonik has been amazing and very supportive

throughout all of it. When I stopped doing the Hot Off The Press feature for

some time in 2010 he called me and said I want you back on it and for me

that said 'There is something about you&you're adding something of value to

the show'. Since then really put 120% into the feature and being a part of

the show which I truly owe to Euphonik for his faith in me and my talent for

radio.

We have so much every Sunday night between 7-10pm, just madness! *

Overcoming the obstacles came down to one simple thing: me reminding myself

why I fell in love with radio. The days of Thato&Thato in the morning, DK @

Y with Dre and Khabzela, Unathi and Ruuuuddddeee Boyyyyy, Bad Boy T,Lee and

Sanza!Aaaaaahhhhh man, I knew every promo on Y! The DJs were entertaining,

educating, real and talented. *

I aspire to have that kind of impact on people via the airwaves. *

3. You are known by many for being the first presenters to land on YoTv and

 speak more than two african languages especially your mother-tongue: Venda.

 It's crystal clear that you are a very diverse lady and you are very proud

 of your culture and heritage. What advice can you give to those that are

 totally westernised and have lost appreciation for their culture?

*Don't feel pressurized to have to fit in! If you do not acknowledge,

understand, and respect the crux of who you are and where you come from then

you have a bit of a problem. You will forever be bouncing around from trend

to trend, group to group, trying to fit in. If those around you do not love

you for all that you are, do yourself a favour and move along! *

 4. What can we expect from CC in the new year? New shows?

*2011 is going to be a very exciting year! I will definitely be back on TV

screens but can't say too much about it right now except it will be well

worth the wait! *wink* I'll also continue to grow on radio this year and

work towards rocking my own show. My corporate career is my cornerstone at

the moment and I'm thoroughly enjoying being able to do everything at the

same time. *
