Showbiz women such as Radio and TV personality Thando Thebethe and sports presenter Mpho Maboi-Letsholonyane have taken it upon themselves to empower other women. Thando does this through her annual netball challenge, which is in its 6th year, while Mpho empowers women through her Women in Sports talk, now in its 3rd year.
The netball challenge is aimed at empowering women and also to raise awareness about issues women face. Mpho aims to educate and share her vast knowledge with women about the sports industry, especially sports is a male-dominated industry.
“A lot of young women have followed my journey as a sports anchor since 2009 when I first started in the industry. I am a firm believer in uplifting and empowering others; there are a lot people can take away from you but the one thing they can’t have is your ideas, education and power to use them. The journey has been amazing, and I want other women to know what it’s like to live your passion as well”, Mpho said.
The 2019 Women in Sports hosted by Mpho Letsholonyane, will take place on Saturday 21 September 2019 with a panel of four women in different career paths of sports. Tickets to the event are available for purchase for R250. Book your seat by emailing info@mphomaboi.co.za.
