After a remarkable journey spanning over two and a half decades, Hulisani Ravele, a mainstay in the entertainment industry, has decided to embark on a well-deserved sabbatical from the airwaves and television screens.

Known as one of South Africa’s most cherished personalities, Hulisani has been an inseparable part of the local media landscape, captivating audiences with her charm and wit. Over the course of 26 years, she has been a constant source of inspiration, setting the bar for excellence in broadcasting through her mellifluous voice on the radio where she has shared her passion and talent with an ever-growing fanbase.

For the past 5 years, Hulisani has been the host of the weekend morning show on Primedia’s 947, creating an upbeat connection with her loyal followers. Her departure from the station marks a poignant turning point in her career, as she takes a hiatus from media to embrace stillness, introspection, and the pursuit of new opportunities. Her final broadcast is scheduled for Saturday, 30 September 2023, marking the end of an era. While her absence will be felt, this departure resonates with an inspirational tone of empowerment and choice.

Reflecting on this transition, Hulisani shared, “I am immensely grateful for the love and support I have received from my followers and 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 being able to maintain that position, are both remarkable achievements I hold dear.

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.”
As Hulisani bids adieu, her legacy remains firmly rooted in the hearts of her admirers.
