In the middle of Noxolo Grootboom’s sweet smile at a giddy Thembekile Mrototo, Anele Mdoda leaned past her microphone.
The eponymous star of 947’s Anele and the Club breakfast radio show asked what has been on everyone’s lips since Grootboom resigned this week from being the face of isiXhosa news on SABC television.
How will you spend your time now, Mdoda wanted to know.
“Ndizaw’jola nomyeni wam’,” Grootboom quickly responded with a mischievous smile.
What she said was she’d start dating her husband, but, like the words she wrote and delivered on the news so eloquently in her mother tongue almost every weeknight for the past 37 years, the words meant more than that.
NOXOLO: Iâve served you, BETHUNA! By Andiswa Ngenyane
NDINITHANDA nonke emakhaya!
Mzansi heard these words for the last time on Tuesday, 30 March when veteran isiXhosa newsreader Noxolo Grootboom read her final news bulletin after 37 years.
Speaking to Daily Sun, Mam’Noxolo said she felt she has fully served her purpose.
“I don’t know how to explain what I’m feeling, but this has made me rich in every way possible.
“There’s nothing I regret in the past 37 years. My heart is fulfilled. I did what I had to do and Mzansi has shown me that I tried my best. The encouragement I’ve received from people, especially youngsters, has shown me that the past 37 years were not wasted,” she said.
