Dropping her microphone for the last time in 37-years of broadcast as a seasoned news anchor, Noxolo Grootboom’s reputation exceeds itself.
It’s not every day that the President moves his “family meeting” to accommodate for this milestone in South African broadcast.
South Africans hold the beloved news anchor in high esteem and her signature sign-off, “Ndinithanda nonke emakhaya,” which loosely translates to “I love you all at home” fast became her trademark.
