When Noeleen Maholwana-Sangqu burst onto South African TV screens early in 2003, it may have been her screen debut, but she brought with her a formidable CV, as the 'Queen Of Talk'. Well cherished for her sharp, incisive questioning, sassy attitude and personal warmth, Noeleen's introductory role as host on SABC3 'Talk' challenged her to bridge the digital divide from radio to television.

Born and raised in Umtata, Noeleen Maholwana Sangqu's entrée to broadcast media was on Radio Transkei in 1986, as office skivvy, before being promoted to reading English news and going on to becoming a talk show host.

Moving to Johannesburg in 1994, Noeleen applied for a job on 702 and started out at the bottom again – as a junior reporter before landing a co-hosting job. Her career at the station was dramatic as listeners warmed to her generous, spirited style, first as a news reader and then as news editor.

From 2001, Noelen Maholwana-Sangqu was on the Primedia Board and hosted her own daily show before leaving the company at the end of 2002. In the process, she also won a Global Population Institute prize for 'Best Programme of the Year'.

Her key areas of expertise are public speaking, marketing oneself and dealing with the media. She understands the importance of branding oneself, unlocking one's intuitive intelligence and speaking your way to success. Noeleen strongly believes that in order for women to claim their rightful positions at the top of the corporate ladder - they have to unlock their power.
