Tumi Morake leaves Jacaranda FM

Comedian and radio personality Tumi Morake has resigned from Jacaranda FM after spending eight months as the co-host of the break-fast show.

“My performance career is taking a new direction and unfortunately radio, with the time and energy it requires at this level, doesn’t fit into those plans. I had a great time and learnt many valuable lessons, yes, even when the pawpaw hit the fan. I wouldn’t change it for the world,” says Tumi Morake.

Tumi leaves the show after the hugely successful Rock’n’Comedy Cruise which combined Martin and Tumi’s off-air passions on an ocean liner.
