Actress and television host Lerato Mvelase fought back tears on Sunday. She opened her first radio show on Power FM with emotion.
Mvelase built her name in theatre and television. She also hosted shows like Seng’khathele on DStv. However, she now adds radio to her growing career.
“I apologise in advance because my children are sitting outside the studio right now with my mom, and this chapter of my life is something that I know I waited for for many, many years,” a tearful Mvelase began.
“Sometimes we do other things, thinking that some things are not for us, but God always has a different plan,” she continued.
A Lesson in Patience and Faith
Mvelase reflected on a powerful conversation with her mother. She shared wisdom that shaped her journey.
“God said: ‘Humble yourself under my strong hand, and in [due] time, I will elevate you.’ And I think that is very significant to where I am right now at the station because many of us, we work so hard. We commit ourselves, and sometimes we feel like we’re not seen… but I just wanna encourage you… to say: Humble yourself under His righteous hand, and continue and focus on what you’re meant to be doing. The right time, the right people will show up for you… And you will be elevated at the right time.”
She then thanked the station for the opportunity.
“And I just wanna say thank you to the station for this moment because it’s not something I was looking at doing at this point in my life… without realising that God was just aligning me, my ancestors were aligning me for this very moment.”
Family Fuels Her New Chapter
Mvelase described her family as her greatest motivation.
“It is my first show today, and I apologise, it is such an emotional moment for me because the little people I’ve worked so hard for are sitting outside watching me. My mom, who’s my pillar, is outside watching me. And I’m so proud of this moment. And I wanna say thank you to Power FM for giving me an opportunity to share my voice,” Mvelase said.
She also explained the purpose of her show.
“The idea of this show, Power Perspectives… is to really bring the human aspect of our life experiences. We can’t run away from the politics of the country, we can’t run away from the economics of the country, the social injustice of the country. But I think the most important thing is: How do we humanise our experiences?” Mvelase said.
Listeners can tune in every Sunday from 6 pm to 9 pm.
