Mooketsi hosts late nights on 5 After Hours, Monday to Thursday from 22:00 to 01:00, tackling trending, engaging and taboo topics, and runs the Vibe Check podcast — a podcast aimed at bringing South Africans red carpet and backstage action from events across the nation, says the station.
"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," says Mooketsi. "This is also a reflection of the giant community of people behind me who all came together and supported me on this journey. I'm extremely grateful to God, my family, friends, the SABC, 5FM and my listeners."
"Boipelo is a cross-platform entertainment force to be reckoned with. 5 After Hours and her Vibe Check podcast consistently deliver the hottest interviews first, the bravest conversations, maximum relatability in youth culture and the best that Mzansi's event energy has on offer. She represents everything 5FM stands for, and we're incredibly proud of her," says Masi Mdingane, Business Manager for 5FM and Good Hope FM.
Mooketsi's win aims to mark a milestone for 5FM's women, who continue working to shape South Africa's youth culture on air, online, on socials and at the nation's most impactful live events, concludes the station.
