KOKOnista Of The Day: Thato Moeng Is The Talented SA Star That Is Inspiring Young African Girls Into Sports Presenting

Thato Moeng is a South African brand ambassador, journalist, voice-over artist, host, and presenter whose focus is both in the studio and field football.


The gorgeous and talented journalist went into the hugely-dominated sporting world, unlike most women, and she has fought her way to the top. The sports industry is her passion, and her biggest dream is to own a football club. Along the way, she also encourages women to venture into the male-dominated sporting world and try it out.

Growing up, Thato was always drawn to sports, mainly because of the inspiration from her father. However, despite that love, she never really had a desire to get into sports. Instead, she dreamt of becoming a political journalist. Even when she got a sports gig, she was still unconvinced until she started seeing some incredibly positive results. Thato went to the Tshwane University of Technology between 2006 and 2010. She studied Journalism.

The presenter started her career back at YFM, as an intern, and then after a couple of years she moved to 5FM, thus becoming the station’s first black and female sports presenter. She worked at 5FM from 2011 till 2014. However, before that, in 2010, she auditioned for a new sports show at SuperSport, and that is how she started hosting Thursday Night Live with Robert Marawa until 2019. She also admires Cynthia Chaka.


At some point in her career, she the hosted Thato Moeng YO-TV sports show. In 2018, she landed another contract with Vision View Sports Radio, which is in Johannesburg, as the host of two shows, Morning Flow and NFD. Just like with Supersport, the contract is still running. She admires Cynthia Chaka.
