Katlego Maboe

Cape Town based Katlego was awarded the title of ‘Presenter of the Year’ at the 2015 South African Film and Television Awards (SAFTAs). This TV presenter, MC, singer, model and actor is not only one of the hosts of the SABC3 morning show ‘Expresso’ but also the affable anchor of the second season of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ (2014 and 2015).

Speaking fluent Afrikaans, English and Setswana, and all with a delightfully sharp sense of humour, Katlego effortlessly maneuvers around any given situation and transcends any demographic border.

Amongst his many accolades, Katlego was crowned ‘The Most Stylish Male Celebrity in South Africa’ at the 2014 YOU Spectacular Awards, and featured in the 2015 South African Menswear Week 2015, modelling for the Presidential Collection.

In 2014 Katlego reached numerous milestones including being host of the annual ATKV Mediaveertjies and the Huisgenoot Tempo Toekennings. The latter being the second time he hosted the prestigious entertainment industry awards ceremony; the first being in 2012.

Katlego’s biggest passion by far has always been music; a burning passion he has fueled since becoming a member of the North West Children’s Choir in 1998. His love for singing manifested itself in his involvement in the well-known South African a Capella boy-band, Flip a Coin, as one of the group’s lead vocalists and beat-boxers.

Hailing from the town of Potchefstroom, Katlego completed his schooling at Potchefstroom Central School and Potch Boys High, matriculating in 2004. Thereafter he proceeded to study for a B.Com degree in Chartered Accountancy at the North West University which he completed in 2007.

Throughout his life, Katlego has been very active in cultural, sporting and academic activities; taking a keen interest in various sporting codes; playing at provincial level in both cricket and hockey.
