"I believe the characters that I have played so far are not challenging enough. I still want to play a lead role and just unleash what I am feeling inside. I want to explore gangsters’ roles and play a character of someone who has this massive anger"

"Looking at where I am at I say it is God's grace. What I know is that when I was growing up I saw myself on TV but I never thought that one day I’d be where I am on Friday. God has made it happen for me. Winning the two awards just proves that women are capable of presenting African traditional music shows. The statuettes encourage me to even work harder though many male maskandi fans still believe in a male presenter. What people do not know is that radio is my life and I grew up singing maskandi. I am Zulu woman who is proud of her culture that is why I enjoy presenting the show"

"I tried my luck in the taxi industry because I believe that we all come to this world carrying different keys to open different life doors. Since I am also a motivational speaker I always say that we all need to tap into those other talents that we have and explore them. I am that person who is never satisfied with where I am"

"The taxi industry is intimidating and it is still male-dominated and you can see that when you attend meetings. Despite everything that is happening to it, I am here to make money just like others"
