Boipelo Mooketsi, South African Broadcaster, MC, Voice Over Artist, Digital Host and Producer has scooped the ‘Entertainment Radio Presenter of The Year’ award win at the Basadi In Music Awards that recently took place.

Boipelo received her well-deserved win for her immaculate work within the Radio space and is still beaming with joy from it.

The versatile media personality was nominated among other names such as Lebo Maoela (Lesedi FM), Lerato Kganyago (Metro FM), Bolele Polisa (947) and Lebo Ndiya (Motsweding FM).

Currently the host of the ‘5 After Hours’ show on 5FM every Monday to Thursday from 10PM until 1AM, Boipelo continues to fly the flag even higher, not just for herself, but for her hometown Kimberley too. She also brings her youthful energy on 5FM’s ‘Vibe Check’ – where she serves as a Digital Host and Producer. 

Says an excited Boipelo: “Winning this award and getting recognition for the work I do means the world to me because I put my heart and soul into it. This is also a reflection of the giant community of people behind me who all came together and supported me on this journey. I am extremely grateful to God, my family, friends, SABC/5FM and my listeners.”

Boipelo is definitely one of South Africa’s media personalities to watch, as she continues to make her undeniable mark – and the amount of voting support received for her award nomination win proves this.
