Having recently obtained her MBA, Lerato opened up about the bittersweet reality of her journey, admitting there were seasons where her hardest work seemed to go unnoticed. Her message to listeners was one of faith: "Humble yourself under His righteous hand" and keep pushing.

She reminded her audience that when the timing is right, the right doors will open and the right people will appear to elevate you to your destiny.

She went on to thank the station for their belief in her, saying, despite the gig not being what she saw for herself at this point in her career, she credited God and her ancestors for aligning her with the opportunity.

As the new host of Power Perspective, Lerato looks forward to connecting with the listeners and hearing their thoughts on the socio-political landscape of South Africa.

"We want to bring the human aspect of our life experiences. We can't run away from the politics, economics or the social injustice of the country. How do we humanise our experiences?"

Using her years of media experience and her love for the community, Lerato is ready to tackle today's tough issues. She is committed to having honest, meaningful conversations that truly matter to her listeners.
