After receiving touching messages from those she had been telling stories to and with, she said she was grateful for the love that she was being shown.
Athi Mtongana further reflected on her journey and thanked everyone for welcoming her into their homes.
Fellow colleague Thembekile Mrototo said: “Fabulous Athi, Thank you for being such a pleasure to work with and carving a special place for yourself on and off air.”
Actress, writer, presenter, and radio personality, Thami Ngubeni wrote: “May your paths be made clear. May success and fulfillment rise to meet you. Wherever you go, you will continue to glow and grow, daughter of the Most High God. You are blessed.”
She has not revealed, as yet, what the next chapter of her journey is.
“I still want to serve you, but this time around, it will be different, with an incredible team. Thank you for your support in advance. No, I am not floor-crossing nor am I going to be a spokesperson. Thanks,” she wrote.
