Broadcaster, Journalist and Writer
Welcome to the life and times of this crazy journalist!
My name is Natasha Botha and I thank you for stopping by my site. Journalism is an adventure! It takes you through the twists and turns of the human existence without apology or pause. Every person has a story to share....a suffering, a joy, a fury or a triumph. I feel that it's my job to tell it. I do my best to connect to people.
My belief is that a fake can be spotted a mile away. The only way to get the truth is to be raw and that's what I am. I'm not perfect...far from it. I make mistakes and I screw up just like everyone else. That seems to be part of my charm! People can relate to me because I don’t pretend to be something I'm not. I love to laugh at myself and I can appreciate my faults just as much as I admire my strengths.
The truth is that life is in the here and now. We have no guarantees so I take the big risks. I take leaps no one expects me to make. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I fall flat on my face. No biggie. I just try again. Born to a two-time Miss South Africa winner and a world record breaking extreme athlete, the word 'impossible' isn't in my vocabulary. There is always a way to succeed and I don't have time for excuses.
I believe in approaching every day with compassion, excitement, kindness, integrity and an unfaltering desire to succeed. It's like that saying goes....you can't hit a home run if you don't step up to the plate.
Batter's up!
