Tumi Morake resigns from Jacaranda FM

Tumi Morake has resigned from Jacaranda FM in what she says is to pursue other ventures.

She expressed this in her morning show, saying that her career is taking a new direction.

“My performance career is taking a new direction and unfortunately radio, with the time and energy it requires at this level, it doesn’t fit into those plans. I had a great time and learnt many valuable lessons, yes, even when the pawpaw hit the fan. I wouldn’t change it for the world,” Tumi said.

She hopes that one day she will find her way back to radio.

“This was not an easy decision for me at all. The timing was just not right for this relationship, it is like leaving a lover that you are still in love with. I really hope that fate will bring us back together again one day.”

Jacaranda FM’s general manager Kevin Fine said they were sad to see Tumi go, and were glad they have worked with her.

Tumi joined Jacaranda FM breakfast team on 3rd July, 2017, alongside Martin Bester.

Her short time at the radio station came with a lot of controversy. In September 2017, Tumi got into trouble for comparing apartheid to a bully taking a child’s bicycle.

Jacaranda FM issued a statement offering full support to her.

Tumi’s last official day on air will be on the 9th of March, 2018. Martin Bester will continue on with the help of Liesl Laurie and Elma Smit.
