Broadcaster Thabo Sandisile Xaba - popularly known as Thabo X - says his addition as the new sports anchor on Morning Live is a full circle moment. Known as a popular voice on youth radio station Y, the 29-year-old now gets to fulfil a childhood dream of working with veteran broadcasters Leanne Manas and Sakina Kamwendo on a show he grew up watching. He speaks to Sowetan about it.
Sowetan: How was it like making your debut on Morning Live last week?
Thabo Xaba: It was exciting, but also incredibly nerve-wracking because of the platform I was stepping into. Its essentially the number one breakfast news show. Meeting Leanne Manas, who is an absolute legend and someone I used to watch, added to that pressure. But for whatever reason, my confidence was through the roof. The debut went so well that I didnt stutter. Compared to my first radio show at YFM or my first time on eNCA, this felt different. I was very assured in what I was doing.
