Acclaimed poet Botlhale Boikanyo (L) is taking over the reins from Paul Modjadji on travel show "Breaking Down Borders Africa".
Acclaimed poet Botlhale Boikanyo is the new face of travel show “Breaking Down Borders Africa”.
Boikanyo made history as the only poet to win “South Africa’s Got Talent”. Since her win, she has established herself as a national treasure with leading roles on shows including e.tv’s “Scandal” and award-winning films “The Deal” and “What About the Boys” in a role she will reprise in a sequel premiering this month.
“Being announced as the new face of ‘Breaking Down Borders’ is a dream come true. Taking the reins from Paul Modjadji, who successfully launched the platform 10 years ago and carved it into a platform that has global reach and impact, is a wonderful challenge and testament to the big shoes I have to fill.
“It is an honour to embark on my first Africa poetry tour with this incredible initiative in this 50th year of the youth uprising and the 70th year of the 1956 Women’s March,” she said.
