Social media users have taken to their TL to send out congratulatory message to Veteran broadcaster Noxolo Grootboom following her retirement.
The star announced she would be retiring after 37 years in the industry.
Even though Grootboom presented the news in isiXhosa, she is much loved by many South Africans who may not necessarily be isiXhosa speaking.
She began her career in the 80’s in the typing pool before making her way to TV screens as a staple part of the evening news for more than two decades.
The 30th of March will be Grootboom’s last day on the job. When news broke of her retirement it sent shockwaves across social media.
See tweet below:
After 37 years of service #NoxoloGrootboom is retiring. What an absolute legend she is! I’m glad the country is celebrating her immense contribution. She certainly remains a fixture of my childhood; watching IsiXhosa news at 7pm.
Enkosi ngogalelo lakho, we are richer for it 🙏🏾 pic.twitter.com/4N9zfdhcTd
