According to S3, Potelwa continues to be one of the brightest stars in the local entertainment landscape. As a popular radio presenter and television host, Potelwa's infectious presenting style makes her a perfect fit for S3's Expresso Morning Show.

"It's really great that Potelwa is going to add her colourful energy to the Expresso team. It is also encouraging to see a talent groomed by the SABC being given an opportunity on one of S3's flagship programmes. We wish her all the success together with the show," says David Makubyane, head of platforms video entertainment at the SABC.

"When we speak of dreams coming true, working for Cardova and the Expresso Morning Show is exactly that. A few years ago, when Expresso had their presenter search, I didn't enter, but I still posted a video online of how I would have entered had I been able to at the time," Potelwa says. 

"It has always been something I hoped for, and Expresso has always been a show I admired," Potelwa adds. "I can't believe I get to start this new journey. It's a huge career highlight getting to be part of many South Africans' mornings by waking them up in the best way possible on S3."

Potelwa says, "I've always viewed entertainment as a privilege. Every stage is an honour, and I hope this dream coming true for me reminds people, especially the youth, that our dreams are valid and blessings delayed are not blessings denied." 

"I'm grateful for this amazing opportunity and to the mighty SABC for trusting me and to Cardova for believing in me. I can't wait to wake up with South Africa on Expresso and also to have lunch with them on the airwaves during my radio show," adds Potelwa. 

Sane Zondi, programme manager of S3, says, "Potelwa was a raw talent identified by the SABC on Selimathunzi, and the power of the network and SABC continues to progress her career on TV and radio. We are happy to see her grow on both platforms."

Maritha Greenland, commissioning editor at the SABC, says, "Potelwa will be a welcome addition to the Expresso team.”

Lala Tuku, head of Local Productions at the SABC, adds, "Potelwa's arrival marks an exciting addition to the Expresso family, and her longstanding association with the SABC only adds to this excitement.

"It's exciting to see Potelwa crossover between SABC radio and TV channels as she adds her fresh voice to conversations on the platforms. Her vibrant personality and deep-rooted connection to the SABC make her the perfect fit for this dynamic platform," concludes Tuku. 

With the addition of Potelwa as its newest host, Expresso has revealed that it will now be broadcasting simultaneously from studios in both Cape Town and Johannesburg. The introduction of the Johannesburg studio, a significant milestone in the show's history, is a testament to the Expresso Morning Show's commitment to providing fresh and engaging content to its audience, says S3. 

With dual studios in Cape Town and Johannesburg, Expresso is well-equipped to offer an even more comprehensive view of South Africa. The dual studio format enables the show to feature a broader spectrum of guests, content and live broadcasts from different regions of the country. It strengthens the programme's connection with metropolitan millennial viewers across the country, according to the show. 

The Expresso Morning Show has been a reliable source of inspiration and entertainment for its viewers, and Potelwa's addition to the team alongside its brand-new studio space promises to continue this tradition. South African mornings are about to become even more engaging and enjoyable, concludes S3. 

Individuals can catch the Expresso Morning Show on weekdays between 06:00 and 09:00 on S3.
