BOMBSHELL WITH A PEN IN HAND

We decided to meet at Primi Piatti in the Waterfront. She suggested it said it had a killer vibe, great atmosphere and hearty food.

From humble beginnings in the Eastern Free State, Rethabile Radebe is well on her way to making it big in the Journalism World. Question on your minds is who is she?

FAMILY AFFAIR
Family is important to her because she says they form part of the very first foundation of "friendship". 'I didn't know this as a teenager, but now I'm friends with my family and they mean the world to me. They are my ride or die people, people who accepted and loved me with the flaws, the mistakes and disappointments." '

THE JOURNALIST IN HER
Rethabile chose Journalism because of her love for writing. Her passion for verbal fighting and for people who can't fight for themselves. 'I dislike what the government does, abusing the proletarait. "I want to be the mouthpiece of the people." '

FOODIE
Rethabile's favourite dish would be tripe, otherwise known as interstines."I especially love cow tripe. I love it hot with freshly baked homemade bread. Yum!"

QUOTES & INSPIRATIONS
Rethabile looks up to Beyoncè, King Bey has worked very hard without compromising her true self and she's a feminist she said.
Her favorite quote is "I love you and Jesus loves you" said by every single person that ever said that to me, it toys with her emotions in the nicest of ways.

LAYING HER ROOTS
'I want to live in the Northern Cape in Sutherland,' she told me. The fact that in Winter it snows, she loves that it's quite a small place, away from the noise and the concrete jungle. 'I love "farm-like" places, they give me sanity.'

SECRECY BILL
'When exposing a crime is treated as commiting a crime, you are being ruled by criminals.' Rethabile feels that we are being ruled by criminals and they are introducing this, so they can be above the law.

Watching with baited breath as this rising star shines!
