Media personality Anele Mdoda who recently announced her hiatus from her radio breakfast show Anele and The Club on 947 is out in New York, living large with one of his best friends, international comedian, and host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, Trevor Noah and son, Alakhe.


The star is no stranger to international traveling, in fact, she is a serial globe trotter and is famous for often traveling with her son, and sometimes his nanny in the past. According to Primedia’s 947 website, the presenter is currently embarking on global masterclasses around the US and UK in order to help season her as a broadcaster and to reimagine her show ‘Anele And The Club’ upon her return in July, 1st 2022.

On Tuesday, the trio was seen on Nigerian superstar Burna Boy’s Instagram accounting with over 10 Milion global followers. Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu popularly know ar Burna Boy had his second interview with Trevor Noah on the Daily Show ahead of his sold out Madison Square Garden Show, making him the second African to sell out the venue after Trevor Noah.

Burna Boy, before his interview with Trevor Noah, met with him, Anele and Alakhe backstage for a quick catch up. In an Instagram story shared on the Afrobeats star’s Instagram, we saw a video of a shy Alakhe being introduced to Burna’s Mom and manager, Bose Namix Ogulu or “Mama Burna” according to Anele. Trevor also introduced the little one to Burna Boy, “you sing his songs, here he is in real life, say hello Burna.”

Alakhe was atonished and impressed by Odogwu’s slick hairdo, the rapper styled dreadlocks, he complimented the star, “I like your hair,” to which he responded, “you know you can get your hair like this as well,” but Anele did not let that idea fly. She killed the thought mentioning that school doesn’t allow it.

She also took Alakhe on a fun filled trip at Madam Tausse Hollywood when he met and posed with movie star Dwayne The Rock Johnson on his Instagram, Alakhesworld.


Fans on Twitter, although often attacking and bullying Anele at times, showed her love for this parenting style. Many commended her for always allowing her son to live large, be expressive and have access to many things. The radio personality has once shared in an interview with Mac G and Sol Phenduka on Podcast And Chill’s Celebrity interview episode that access is the biggest thing she’s about as a parent. 
“I feel like you should do things for your kids, have experiences with them. Take them to see things that they feel are out of their realm,” she said. She continued admitting that that was done for her growing up which resulted to her career choice today. “The fact that I was running around the SABC when I was 7, and was running around radio stations when I was 8 and 12… although it’s not like a call I made then that I was going to be a broadcaster, but I realised it wasn’t out of my reach. There are many kids who sit there and watch TV and are like, “how did those people get there?” you know?”

One user compared Anele’s parenting style to that of Mamkhize in a tweetthat read, “All moms should aspire to give their kids the world like how Anele is doing with Alakhe and Mamkhize with andile.” Another one said, “The life Anele is giving to her son Alakhe is so adorable maarn. She is good at this.”
