TV and radio presenter Tracey Lange has exited the weekly Afrikaans celebrity magazine show Bravo! on kykNET (DStv 144) after 11 years, saying that "it's time to dream again".
Her final interview was in January with the singer Jean du Plessis, known as Jan Bloukaas, battling brain cancer.
"It blows my mind that it's been 11 years since starting this journey on TV that allowed me in the homes and hearts of so many in South Africa," Tracey Lange says who was also a co-host on M-Net's Dancing with the Stars SA, a panellist on the Afrikaans female talk show Tussen Ons on kykNET, and hosted the talk show Studio 3 on kykNET & Kie.
Tracey Lange says Bravo! was "11 years of countless flights, some of the best hotels, early mornings and very late nights" and "chilling with people I'd only ever seen on TV".
She says that since 2022 she felt that "God had ticked off everything on my bucket list where South African TV is concerned" and that for her, it is now "time to dream again" and the reason for exiting Bravo!.
"I will never forget the people, the events, the spectacular dresses and most importantly, the lessons I'd learnt in this 11 years." She thanks "everyone for allowing me into their homes every week and for every kind word on the street or social media".
