MPHO LETSHOLONYANE
SPORTS PRESENTER AND RADIO PERSONALITY
‘Being a woman in sport is a testament to how important it is to chase your passions. I never feel as if I’m working. Also, I like setting a good example for young women. Four years ago, I started a gettogether for women in sport to empower the youth with information about different career paths in the industry. They enjoyed it and found it eye-opening. It didn’t happen last year due to Covid-19, but I plan to host it online this year. It’s my way of giving back,’ says Mpho Letsholonyane.
She began her career in broadcasting as a YFM DJ and today is well-known for her phenomenal work as a sports anchor. Her TV career highlights include working at SuperSport since 2009, covering the 2014 African Nations Championship (CHAN), the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in 2015 and 2017, the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympic Games, and hosting the 2018 FIFA World Cup. On the radio, she’s been a sports reporter on Metro FM and hosted the Ultimate Sport Show, which won a Liberty Radio Award in 2017.
‘I’ve been interested in sports since I was a child. My father is a Kaizer Chiefs supporter and boxing fan. He and his friends would watch sport, and being a daddy’s girl, I gravitated towards that – they made it look so cool. Bridget Masinga told me SuperSport was looking for women presenters, and I jumped at the opportunity to talk about my passion. It was a no brainer.
