Basetsana Kumalo announces her retirement from Television production.

The businesswoman steps down as the CEO of Connect Channel (Pty) Ltd.

Connect Channel (Pty) Ltd is a digital content and television production company that has been an enterprise development beneficiary of Multichoice.

The former Miss SA has worked in the TV business for 30 years, on shows like Utatakho, Date My Family, Becoming, Cheeky Palett and many others.

Kumalo revealed that Kopano Cowen, who has been working with her as a producer and has been mentoring for 10 years, will be taking over.

“I have always believed in mentoring and seeing young women come to their full potential and fulfilling their dreams and destinies. Some of them have become lawyers, doctors, HR specialists and household names in the creative economy. I have witnessed many trajectories of these game changers, world shakers and history makers,” said Kumalo.

“Kopano, our astute mind is laudable; your focus is commendable and your passion for television and content creation is inspiring. I know you are going to take Connect Channel to new levels of success with your deep understanding of where the future of content is headed and what viewers are consuming.”
