Multi-talented media powerhouse Penny Lebyane lays it all down in this interview on her life, her passions and what still keeps her fire burning. She details how she got her start in broadcasting, dealing with diversity and all that her hometown, Bushbuckridge in Mpumalanga, taught her... as well as how living in Soweto shaped her confidence and taught her to grow a thick skin. Who does she trust and take advice from? How did she deal with post-natal depression? Where does she draw the fine line between freedom and fear? Penny answers these frankly and openly too.
