Hulisani Ravele takes ‘well-deserved sabbatical’ from radio, TV

After 26 years of being in the entertainment industry, media personality Hulisani Ravele has decided to take a sabbatical from the radio and our TV screens.

Sharing the news on Instagram, the former YoTV presenter captioned her post, “My destiny is singing a new song, it’s time to pause so I can learn its melody. ?? After a remarkable journey spanning 26 years, I am embarking on a well-deserved sabbatical from the airwaves and television screens.”

In a media statement, Hulisani stated that she is immensely grateful for the love and support she has received from her followers, as well as those in the industry.

“Making it onto the 947 line-up has been an absolute dream come true. To anchor and deliver an entertaining and wholesome show to such a diverse and multicultural audience, and to play a part in the station surpassing the 1 million mark for P7D listenership, and maintaining that position, are remarkable achievements I hold dear.”

She continued, “This break is not just a pause, but an opportunity for me to delve into new experiences and discover what the future holds. I’m excited to see where this journey takes me.”

The radio personality has been the host of the weekend morning show for Primedia’s 947 for the past five years. Her final broadcast is set to air on Saturday, 30 September.
