Birth and the media career
Born in 1967, Noeleen Maholwana-Sangqu spent most of her formative years at Umtata in the Eastern Cape Province. Bubbly and enthusiastic, Noeleen started her media career at the Radio Transkei in 1986. About nine years later, she moved to Johannesburg where she got a job at Radio 702. Amazingly, the young lady never walked into Radio 702 while fronting her prior experience, but in humility, she took up the simple junior reporter's position. Shortly after that, she was elevated to a co-hosting position.
Noleen had a rather spontaneous way of pulling the audience in her acts, and this is probably one of the main reasons for her meteoric rise to higher positions in the station. What else could make someone rise from a junior reporter’s job to a news editor’s position so fast? Well, if your guess is as good as mine, it can only be through their passion, talent, and timely service delivery.

One thing that stands in this lady’s character is her unrelenting desire to learn and know more. While serving at the Radio 702, she enrolled and completed a course in the Management Advanced Program.
From radio, Noeleen appeared on the South African TV in 2003 with a substantial promise to break the existing routine and monotony. And sooner than anyone could expect, she was the industry’s reigning Queen of talk. She comes across as a sassy and incisive presenter who may rightfully take credit for bridging the digital divide between radio and television, especially at the time when she hosted an SABC3 TALK show.

- In 2008, Noeleen, won the Stars of Mzanzi Award as the Best TV presenter.
We all agree that however long the journey may be, it must have a destination. After more than a decade of scintillating episodes of the 3Talks show, Noleen Sangqu in 2016 bid farewell to the show the rolled out her television career. The Queen of talk felt that 12 years of service were enough for her to vacate the throne and create room for younger talent to thrive as well.
During the teary send-off, Noeleen said,
"The past 12 years haven't been easy, but it's been an absolute blast,"
She shared that for those 12years, 3talk had literally turned into her home, and the team had become the second family.
…. and I have absolutely no idea what tomorrow holds for me," she said.
As expected, her live farewell show was attended by her famous friends including Trevor Gumbi, Somizi, Kenny Kunene, and more.

- Public speaking
- Self-marketing
- Dealing with the media
