The art of media lives in her

                              

Host of The game changer, Tshepiso Mabulana also known as Tshepi was born in Tembisa. She went to Norkem Primary and High school for a year then moved to Durban and went to an all-girls high school in Pinetown girls where she matriculated. She the furthered her studies and went to UKZN Howard campus where she studied Media and cultural studies and performance studies.

“I’ve always wanted to be an actress, I am an actress at heart.” said Tshepi. A set out of her journey began when she was completing her last major in varsity. She tried to go for auditions at Gagasi FM in Durban. She also sent applications at the SABC every year and sent through at YFM. 

“Female dj’s who hold their own shows drive to kill it In this game, your Anele Mdodas, your Thando Thabethes, your Redi’s these ladies are killing it in the game you cannot help but be driven by that kind of talent.” Tshepi shares her lists of inspirations.

Tshepi’s father gravitated to the idea of her daughter being in the media industry. He was open-minded about it and did not question her. When she started at YFM she was only getting paid R2400 and was not paid for the first month when she started working on lunch time but this did not discourage her.

Hosting her annual slumber party with 10 underprivileged young ladies every year is one of her achievement. For her to able to host this successfully every year is a massive deal with the backing of massive brands behind her.  Apart from being at Yfm, she does voice over work for different brands and has a brand activation company that she wants to launch

She is working into getting into TV and might be on our screens very soon.  

She’s also planning her slumber party coming up in October and she just hosted a whiskey night. She also is working on something with Delush wines. She’s a brand ambassador and will be looking for another brand ambassador for Delush wines.

Not only is she multimedia talentecd, Tshepi wants to try out corporate, TV and Radio and the same time. “In the next years I will have a successful promotions company because I’m so passionate about brand marketing” said Tshepi.

“Being happy, content and having the ability and strength to help others grow to become a better version of themselves.” That’s how she defines success.

For those who want to be in the media industry, Tshepi advices them to be ready for the challenges, late nights, really early mornings. Be ready to be broke, be ready for the twitter trolls, be ready to sleep on the couch at your work place, be ready for the tears. But if you really love this career, all this is part of the journey and part of a greater plan. Be patient everything will happen in good time! Have your eye on the game.
