Tumi Morake leaves Jacaranda FM

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.

“This was not an easy decision for me at all. The timing was just not right for this relationship, it is like leaving a lover that you are still in love with. I really hope that fate will bring us together again one day,” says Tumi.

DJ Zinhle

DJ Zinhle has come out to set the record straight on Sunday Sun reports that she has found love in the arms of a Namibian businessman Collin Venaani.

According to the tabloid, Zinhle and her rumoured boyfriend Collin were seen together partying at Taboo nightclub in Sandton a couple of weeks ago.

The paper’s informants claimed that DJ Zinhle and Collin were seen getting cosy with each other.

“He showers her with extravagant gifts and treats her like a queen, along with her daughter,” a mole told the paper.
However, Zinhle has come out strongly against the reports claiming that she and Collin are just friends.

“Her home project has led to a greater interest in property, décor and design, which has opened multiple opportunities for Zinhle. Collin and Zinhle have become friends through this newly found interest,” her PR manager Jessica Porter said.

Oprah Winfrey and Trevor Noah

Speaking to Oprah Winfrey as part of her SuperSoul Conversations series, comedian Trevor Noah opened up about his mother and the major influence she has had on his life.

Noah paid homage to his mother in a short video clip uploaded to the Oprah Winfrey Network’s YouTube channel.

Oprah started off by commenting on how “badass” Trevor’s mom was.

“Most people would have a sign to protest government oppression, my mother had me. In telling my story and writing this book, I never thought it was about my mom. I think most of us believe that we are the heroes of our story and in writing this story, I realised that I was my mother’s punk ass side-kick,” said Trevor.

When writing Born A Crime, Trevor didn’t intentionally set out to focus it around his mother. He was simply telling his life story.

According to Sunday Sun’s sources, a source said the pair were spotted partying up a storm at Taboo nightclub in Sandton three weeks ago.
