Maboe is set to host the star-studded Metro FM Music Awards in Mbombela on Saturday 06 May. Since returning to The Expresso Morning, the SABC 3 presenter has scored gig after gig.
This comes after he took time off as a presenter from Expresso. He focused on personal matters that stemmed from allegations of abuse made against him by his ex-girlfriend Monique Muller.
After a protracted legal process, Katlego was absolved in January 2022. He returned to The Expresso Morning Show on Monday, 8 August 2022.
Now, he has bagged another gig and is over the moon. Maboe will host the Metro FM Music Awards alongside seasoned TV and radio host Lerato Kganyago.
Speaking to TshisaLIVE, he said this is probably one of the biggest gigs he has bagged in his career.
“Music is quite a big part of my life, it’s through music that I found myself on television and entertainment at large. This is probably one of the biggest gigs I have bagged in my career. I am absolutely honoured and very excited, this is a huge gig,” he told TshisaLIVE.
“I have been doing this for quite some time and it’s something I believe is part of my DNA of who I am. Every single award show you present or any show, you approach with reverence.”
Maboe said he is grateful for the major comeback and the opportunities he has received so far.
“I don’t take for granted the opportunities that have in recent times come knocking at my door through the support of people who’ve just stood by me, prayed for me, and helped me through the toughest times that these opportunities have come around.
“I’m so grateful that I still have an opportunity to be part of what I believe is an incredible industry.”
