Redi Tlhabi in 2017
After 12 years of working for 702, a radio station in South Africa, Tlhabi announced her departure at the station. She was set to leave for the USA for a fellowship. She has since postponed her move to America.
In 2013, Tlhabi won the Alan Paton Award for her book, Endings and Beginnings.[3][4] The book describes Tlhabi's relationship with a notorious gangster as she was growing up, after the death of her father. Tlhabi claims that she changed the names of the characters, but the mother of a gangster of the same name claims that the names are accurate but is disputing some of the facts in the book.[5]
Personal lifeedit
Tlhabi married Brian Tlhabi, a medical practitioner, in 2010.[6] She is the mother to 2 daughters, Khumo and Neo, and the stepmother of comedian Lesego Tlhabi.[7]
