Kabelo loves the media space, which he describes as his playground. From a young age, Kabelo Kabinett Motlogeloa has been captivated by the power of media to inspire and engage audiences.

 Currently, he fills multiple roles at One Free State Televisual, working as a reporter/journalist, current affairs producer, voice-over artist, and bulletin editor. Growing up, Kabelo was drawn to both the creative and technical aspects of broadcasting, recognizing how media can shape perspectives and ignite conversations.

“That’s what sparked my passion for media broadcasting, and I’ve been driven to pursue a career in this exciting field ever since. I’ve always been a provocateur of social activism,” Kabelo stated.

His focus on news stems from his passion for storytelling, truth-seeking, and holding those in power accountable. He believes that journalism is a powerful tool for informing, educating, and inspiring people to take action.

Driven by a desire to amplify community voices, Kabelo sheds light on social injustices and contributes to a more engaged citizenry. Kabelo’s media journey began in 2019, starting at CUT FM as a newsreader and soon moving to the now-defunct Rock FM in Welkom as a current affairs anchor and newsreader.

 He appreciates how being in the media allows him creative freedom to craft compelling stories and present information innovatively. Each day presents new challenges, interviews, and research opportunities, which he embraces with the mindset that every day is different.

“In my line of work, I encounter numerous challenges that test my skills, patience, and dedication. One of the most significant hurdles is managing tight deadlines, which requires meticulous time management and organization,” Kabelo explains.

He looks up to figures like Debora Patta, a South African investigative broadcast journalist known for her interview style, and former Lesedi FM current affairs anchor Palesa Chubisi. Kabelo also appreciates the diversity of content within the TV world, where a variety of genres and styles cater to a wide array of tastes and interests.

Behind the scenes at One Free State Televisual, Kabelo is currently producing a new current affairs show, Tsebo Ya Setjhaba, set to air soon.
