Legendary SABC News anchor Noxolo Grootboom hangs the mic

There is only one Riaan Cruywagen.

Kwekhu madoda kwe xhokro nakum ngaphakathi ndiyindoda ndazibamba ngeenkophe. Hamb' uhambe mama Noxolo uyokonwabela ipeshoni nabantwana bakho. Usikhonzile sisengagantwana wasifundisa ukubaluleka kokugcina ulwimi (and therefore inkcubeko) lwethu ngoba ulwimi lilo elisembindini wenkcubeko. Wanga uBawo wethu angakugcina unempilo entle ubukele abantwana bakho bephumelela.

Ngithanda nje ubuyena nendlela akhuluma ngayo isixhosa esijulile

Syakthanda mama

I would call her another " Mandela"

Wow xhosa mama ngiyabulela

All I can say to my mother is WOW❤she's the best and she'll always be the best to each and everyone in this country.and I'll be the next on her foot steps. We love u mama

I love that she's being celebrated while alive. Its beautiful to see her trending. I'm 21 years and she's been reporting long before I was born. Wow. Great woman.

I don’t speak or understand Xhosa, even though my family is Xhosa🥴... but I know exactly who this lady is because whenever we switched to SABC 1 to watch Generations or whatever it is we used to watch back then, she would be saying “ndili thanda nonke makhaya”. She has been doing this longer than my eldest sibling has been alive🙌🏾... RESPECT ✊🏾

Wow ever since I was a child I never understood Xhosa but watching her over and over again I knew it was Xhosa news. Ever since I watched news she's been best in her work and I'm truly touched to see ppl support and love her. We love u more mama take care

This is truly heartfelt ♥️

The President delayed a national adress for this woman to dliver her last news buletin
He even payed tribute to her
Thats why South Africa is the way it is

She looks 30. Black don't crack

Andise emotional marn🥺🥺🥺

Owh what an a legend and anchor and leader my sister when she speak everyone listen whether you are Xhosa or not but you will listen to her because she speak smart and lovely words...round of applause to Grootboom family and SABC family but truth be told no one can replace Mom N Grootboom at any level or stage...she was a giant at SABC..

I still remember her words when she left SABC that it's all depends on us about how proud we are to speak isixhosa or isivenda or any other language that you speak ..she even said it mighty be dark but surely the ⛅ sun will raise in the morning..for me that was whaaauuu

3 years later, I just finished watching Xhosa news and I found myself putting mama's words on the anchors mouth "Nilale nombethe ingubo, yemvisiswano, uxolo, no thando, ndinithanda nonke emakhaya"
