Presenter | Host | Lifestyle Model | Moderator
Debbie Hathway is a Cape Town–based presenter, host and lifestyle model with a professional background in journalism, live performance and public speaking. Comfortable on stage and in front of the camera, she brings warmth, credibility and natural ease to interviews, discussions and live events.
A senior luxury lifestyle journalist specialising in fine watches, jewellery and travel, Debbie is regularly invited onto radio to discuss watch and jewellery trends — a niche subject that requires both expertise and the ability to communicate clearly to a broad audience. Her media experience extends to moderating conversations and hosting talks for magazines and auction houses, including leading a discussion with an internationally recognised ballet star and presenting a jewellery trends masterclass.
Debbie’s background in performance also informs her on-stage presence. She previously ran her own cabaret company and has spent many years performing and competing in partner dancing, giving her strong stage awareness, timing and audience connection.
As a journalist, Debbie has interviewed a wide range of personalities, from firefighters and creatives to CEOs and senior executives. This experience has shaped her calm, conversational style and ability to put people at ease — whether on camera, on stage, or in a live discussion.
Confident but natural in delivery, Debbie brings professionalism, authenticity and a relaxed, approachable presence to every engagement. While she thrives in live environments, she remains grounded and self-aware, bringing thoughtful preparation and genuine enthusiasm to each role.
