TSHEPO NTSHOLE

RADIO PRESENTER & BUSINESSWOMAN

IN THREE WORDS, I AM...
Happy, complicated and eternal optimist.

IF I’M FRIGHTENED OF ANYTHING, IT’S...
Snakes and creepy crawlies.

IF I COULD TRAVEL BACK IN TIME I’D SET THE DIALS FOR...
I live for the present.

MY FAVOURITE PERSON IN THE UNIVERSE IS...
Myself.

MY LEAST FAVOURITE PERSON IN THE UNIVERSE IS...
People who don’t want to see others happy.

THE LAST TIME I LOOKED IN THE MIRROR I THOUGHT...
Wow!

IF I HAD TO LEAVE A BODY PART TO SCIENCE, IT WOULD BE...
My muffin-tops (boobs)-they’re out of this world.

MY DEFINITION OF LOVE IS...
I’m still trying to figure it out, but I believe it’s a combination of friendship, compromise, patience and laughter.

THE LAST TIME I VOMITED, IT WAS BECAUSE OF...
Food poisoning.

THE GREATEST LESSON LIFE HAS TAUGHT ME IS...
A bad situation is never permanent.

IF I KNEW THE WORLD WAS ENDING TOMORROW, THEN TODAY I’D...
Say I’m sorry.

THE SONG I WANT PLAYED AT MY FUNERAL IS...
Heaven Scent by Keyshia Cole.

I WANT MY TOMBSTONE TO READ...
Here lies a woman, a friend who loved, lived and laughed.

IN PURELY MONETARY TERMS, I AM WORTH ROUGHLY...
Let’s talk in the next year.

NEED-TO-KNOW
1). Born in March 9, 1980 in Gaborone, Tshepo Ntshole is an exceptional radio presenter whose mesmerizing voice can be heard reigning supreme in the Gabz FM 96.2 frequency modulation (FM) spectrum. The ever-smiling beauty from Mochudi with a charming heart first cut her teeth in radio in 1999 when government liberalized the airwaves and allowed for private owned radio stations.
Tshepo who has always fancied an opportunity as a radio presenter tried her luck and auditioned at the newly opened Gabz FM and she was hired straight away.
A couple of years later, she made a move to Yarona FM in 2002 where she stamped her authoritative mark in the local airwaves, giving seasoned male presenters a run for their dough.
After a couple of years soothing the youthful Yarona FM listeners, in October 2007, Tshepo hit a U-turn to rejoin her former employer, Gabz FM where she now hosts the radio station’s mid-afternoon slot on a show simply dubbed “Great Expectations” which beams weekdays from 1000-1400hrs.

2). The 29-year-old radio personality who enjoys laughter to the core noted that people should learn to afford to crack a smile even in the face of adversity.
“I’m one person who enjoys laughter and I just wish everyone could realize that laughter is a good medicine. It can make the world a beautiful place.”
The last born in a family of five said she enjoys any Potato dish be it French fries or baked potatoes.
Quizzed about some of her career highlights, Tshepo said everyday in her life is a highlight as it different.
“I really don’t have a special moment. Each day has its own surprises and I always look forward to rocking listeners with my smooth velvet voice. I know radio like the back of my hand and my aim is to inform, educate and entertain. However, I always enjoy interviewing international artistes.”
3). Besides her radio job, Tshepo owns an Events Management and Logistics company called Sixpence which basically does event planning and management. She wants to expand into information and lifestyle management. The talented radio presenter is also a seasoned MC. She revealed that in a few months she plans to study Business Administration to further her career and that things might get a bit hectic for her as she will be juggling three things (radio, school, and company) at a go.
“However, I’m not complaining since I believe as human beings we ought to keep ourselves busy with something in life. I enjoy what I do and I will never trade it for anything in life.”
