"Well, winning this presenter search was and is still such a thriller! At first, I was hesitant at entering but people around me pushed and strongly encouraged me to participate because they believed I would win, and so it happened. I’m grateful and eagerly waiting to experience everything it has in store for me or even opportunities it may expose one to," Mongezi said.
