Cape Talk presenter Refilwe Moloto will on Monday become the first black female talk radio breakfast show host in Africa when she takes over from Kieno Kammies.
“I consider myself a baby-boomer, a millennial, but I also share the same sensibilities as my listeners. Also, I do not take myself too seriously.” The family’s from Umlazi in KZN, but Moloto spread her wings and opted to pursue a degree in economics, which she started at UCT and eventually completed at the University of the Witwatersrand, where she was awarded the Dean’s prize.
“After my studies, I said to myself, let me quickly go see what’s happening in the market. I spent almost 10 years in New York and I consider it my other home. But I decided to return to my first home, South Africa, which was also not as hard hit by the financial crisis.”
