Authentic, articulate, and unstoppable — Rose Moreki is raising the game for women in sports media

In the fast-paced world of sports broadcasting, Rose Moreki is proving that passion, precision, and presence make a winning combination. The dynamic radio sports broadcaster at SMU FM 97.1 is carving her path as one of the most authentic and engaging voices in South African campus radio.

 

Based in Ga-Rankuwa, Gauteng, Moreki’s journey in media is defined by her deep love for sport and community storytelling. Her voice, now familiar to thousands of listeners, bridges the gap between athletes and audiences, giving local sports the spotlight they deserve.

 

Moreki currently hosts the SMU Sports Show, airing weekdays from 18h00 to 19h00, where she dives into soccer, rugby, cricket, volleyball, and tennis coverage. Known for her sharp match analysis and ability to spark meaningful discussions, she also produces a weekly mental health and wellness segment aimed at athletes and young listeners—a feature that sets her apart in the competitive sports media landscape.

 

Before joining SMU FM, Moreki honed her craft at Ga-Rankuwa FM, hosting a lively three-hour morning show, Tsoga Le Rona and co-presenting a sports show segment that included news and weather updates. Her role extended beyond the studio—conducting live interviews with athletes, providing match commentary, and filing field reports that kept local fans in the loop.

 

Her storytelling doesn’t stop on air. As a sports writer for The Ga-Rankuwa Mail, Moreki captures community sports highlights, youth tournaments, and women’s sports initiatives with clarity and passion. Her commitment to visibility for female athletes and grassroots sport has earned her growing respect across the region.

 

Moreki’s versatility extends to the stage. As a freelance master of ceremonies, she has hosted Mamelodi Sundowns’ Trophy Tour in Rustenburg (2024), presented awards at the G-Sports Awards in Sandton (2024), and emceed the Volleyball Awards Ceremony (2025). Her energy, professionalism, and charisma make her a sought-after event host.

 

Behind her growing success is a strong academic and professional foundation. Moreki is currently pursuing a Higher Certificate in Accounting Sciences at UNISA and holds a SAFA D Coaching Licence, with her SAFA C Licence in progress. She also completed a Workplace English Certificate to refine her communication and presentation skills.

 

Her sports journalism portfolio includes interviews with leading personalities such as Mathews Mpete, Xolile Mabuza, and Thabang Temo, along with coverage of Banyana Banyana, Proteas Women’s Cricket Team, and Blind Football South Africa.

 

Moreki is not just a broadcaster—she’s a builder of sports culture. Through her storytelling, interviews, and stage presence, she amplifies voices that often go unheard. Confident, articulate, and driven, she represents the new wave of South African sports media—bold, authentic, and unstoppable.
