A former Miss South Africa, 'Top Billing' presenter, businesswoman, and entrepreneur - Basetsana Kumalo is a powerhouse of a woman. 

In 1994, at the end of apartheid, Kumalo became the new face of South Africa. She was the second black Miss South Africa. 

After Miss South Africa, she became one of the youngest black presenters to present the lifestyle show, 'Top Billing'. Kumalo formed a partnership with the show's producer, Patience Stevens. Tswelopele Productions was born, with Kumalo owning a fifty-percent stake.

Her career has since grown from strength to strength. Earlier this year, Kumalo wrote her first book, 'Journey Of Hope'.

She joined Breakfast with Martin Bester to share her journey and also to get real.
