Award-winning actress Lerato Mvelase is stepping into a new chapter, this time behind the microphone. The celebrated television star has been endorsed by Power FM to host the #SundayPerspective show, marking her official move into radio broadcasting.

A Long-Awaited Chapter

For Lerato, this opportunity is not sudden. It reflects years of patience and alignment.

“This chapter of my life is something I know I waited for many years. Sometimes we do other things, thinking that some things are not for us, but God always has a different plan,” she shared.

Her move into radio signals both growth and reinvention, expanding her footprint within South Africa’s media landscape.

From Screen to Studio

Lerato has built a strong reputation through television. Her performances have appeared in major South African productions, including:

• Skeem Saam
• Home Affairs
• Isibaya
• The Estate
• Scandal!

Her consistent presence on screen has positioned her as one of the country’s respected performers. The transition to radio offers audiences a more direct connection to her voice and perspective.

Industry Support

The announcement was met with strong support from peers. Actress Enhle Mbali responded with emotional encouragement, expressing pride in Lerato’s new journey.

The reaction highlights the respect Lerato commands within the entertainment industry.

SAFTA Recognition

Lerato’s career momentum continues beyond radio. She recently earned a nomination at the upcoming 19th South African Film and Television Awards for her role in Mabaso Family Reunion Season 1.

This would not mark her first win. In 2023, she secured a SAFTA for Best Actress in a TV Drama for Justice Served, further cementing her position among South Africa’s top performers.

A Multi-Platform Future

With television success, a new radio platform and ongoing awards recognition, Lerato Mvelase’s career continues to evolve across mediums. SundayPerspective on Power FM now adds another layer to her already influential presence in South African media.
